For some context, I'm a 4.06 gpa high school student saving for (hopefully) CMU and every part of the situation looks grim. I currently have around $5k saved in a savings account and another ~$700 in crypto from mining (was once $1.5k, but that's life).
Throughout most of my junior year (2020-2021), I've worked at McDonald's about 30-33 hrs/week at $13/hr, and then immediately picked up a paid technology internship once school let out for 30 hrs/week at $8.75/hr. I struggled to maintain both at the same time, on top of cutting lawns as well. I've since cut down my hours at McDonald's to a maximum of 16hrs/week at the same wage.
While I've felt much better the past few weeks and able to have a social life, I've been losing out on a considerable chunk of money. I've gone from putting aside ~$1.3k/month to now ~$800/month. Should I go back to 60+ hr weeks to save, or just accept the losses and move on?
