I started an internship in New York and am losing my focus when it comes to money. I make $15/ hour, 40 hours / week. Everyone in my office goes out for lunch. I'm spending $15-$20 a day. My credit card balance is at $400 and I have $1500 in savings that I'm refusing to touch. I have probably around $100 dollars in cash. I'm going to stop spending money on my credit card immediately (I was formally in 5k debt), use the cash I have for the next two and a half weeks, and pay my credit card with my next check. It's so easy to get back into bad habits.
