Today, I did the deed: went through my bank statements for the last 4 months just to see where my money was going and boy, did I have a reality check.
Over the last 4 months, I have spent about $1,716 on unnecessary expenses. (coffee, lunch, shopping, etc.)
Two months I had spent around $40 on coffee. $65 on food one month... just nonsense.
It’s those little debit swipes that really add up.
So, i deleted all shopping apps off my phone. Unfollowed all shopping pages on IG. removed my cards from my phone. took my debit card out of my wallet to leave at home unless i know i need it.
it only took me about 30 minutes to go through my statements but it’ll save me so much money now that i know what i’m doing. i wasted about $294 a month due to mindless swipes.
LOOK AT YOUR STATEMENTS!!!!!
update: i thought i would throw this into the fun as well.... it equaled to about 44 swipes per month on average.
i’m facepalming so hard right now.
