FEBRUARY SPENDING SUMMARY | monthly spending plan while unemployed | no spend week 💸 

I wasn’t working for couple months ( towards the end of graduate school) so we stopped shopping at Trader Joe’s during those months. Started shopping at food for less and ALDIs etc and I was shocked how much we saved during those months! We also cut out eating out to just twice a month .. if friends invited us out it was a solid no. But we didn’t qualify for any government assistance so had to make some drastic changes since we were living off of our savings. Only change we didn’t make was our dogs lol they lived their best lives. 😂 Just landed a job this month so hopefully things get back to normal soon. I m in healthcare so thankfully finding a job wasn’t too bad

You guys will retire early! The job market is just not great right now, but it will be better soon. Really enjoyed learning how you are managing your money right.
