How big is the, like, margin between what you make and your regular bills every month? How much wiggle do you have?
Not really there.
What would not behind look like to you? Like, where is it that you think you should be?
Yeah.
After the break, we'll dive into Victoria's Week.
Victoria's preschool provides breakfast and lunch for the students, which means Victoria can often get a free meal too.
By the end of day two, Victoria is getting by as she normally does. But then a couple of things shake her off her balance.
It's not just that Victoria wants braces. She really needs them. Her problem started with some tooth pain about eight months ago.
I'm like dying here. She eventually got on the dental plan that she's paying for monthly now and she rushed to the dentist.
In addition to paying for her insurance, on day three, Victoria also paid rent, her internet and utilities, bringing her day's total to $1,840.19.
Are there other people in your life that have a similar relationship with money and financial situation as you right now?
So Victoria was sitting with that feeling. And then she thought about this experience she had that made her feel like she was even more underwater than she thought. Recently, she was talking to someone at the bank and they told her a stat she hadn't heard before.
On day four, Victoria paid $18.12 for Spotify. Which brings us to day five.
Day six.
ECERS and TPOT are evaluation tools that teachers use in the classroom.
On day six, Victoria bought a gift for an upcoming holiday, bringing her total for the day to $84. Day seven.
On day seven, Victoria bought one more holiday gift, coffee and a snack, bringing her total for the week to $2,300.94. How much does it cost to get your teacher's license?
And how long will that take you to have that done?
