Things I Stopped Spending My Money On

Once I graduated from college and started having to pay real bills... I really had to audit my spending and cut back in some areas. But cutting back in some areas allowed me to open room in my budget to spend more money on the things I love!

A lot of people my age have a new car, and with that they have a very large monthly car payment. Driving my old ford focus into the ground is one of the biggest ways I'm able to save money!

I also learned how to DIY beauty treatments so that I don't have to pay to get them professionally done. The only service I do still pay for is getting my hair done twice a year - I'm scared to ruin my own hair haha.

And lastly, I started thrifting! I've been able to find some great new-to-me clothes for a fraction of the price of new clothes. Highly recommend thrifting if you can!
