Founder Friday | Budgeting, Lifestyle Creep, and Airbnb
Happy Friday! I hope you had a fantastic week. Here’s what I was up to!
How I Earned Money This Week
-
We had two different sets of Airbnb guests this week (which is a blessing, because we have to shut it down for a week or two to renovate the bathroom shower).
-
The income from my budgeting workshop this weekend should process tomorrow. Sign up if you haven’t yet!
-
I had a new client pay for a 90-minute budget deep dive session. (Does this sound like something you’d be interested in? Schedule a free discovery call!)
How I Spent Money This Week
-
The Hungry Harvest delivery from last Friday was charged to our credit card this week. If you want to get $5 off your first order of rescued produce, use my link!
-
On Wednesday, I met with a friend of mine who is a social media strategist. We’ve been trading services to each other for a few months. We ordered Thai food for dinner while we talked through Facebook ads and upcoming social media strategies.
-
In preparation for Hurricane Florence’s landfall, we stocked up on some extra groceries and water this week. We also bought taco fixings for dinner last night, to celebrate Taco Thursday and we donated some money to DCAF.
-
As with every week lately, I bought several random wedding items.
-
I worked at a coffee shop yesterday and treated myself to some jasmine tea.
Thanks to all the friends and family who came to my bachelorette party last weekend! I had a wonderful time and felt very spoiled.
What I’m Writing
This week, I reposted my second Women@Forbes post on my blog. I wrote about how to avoid lifestyle creep so that you are no longer living paycheck to paycheck.
What I’m Up To
