A twenty-something trying to save their way to homeownership.

You know that feeling where you have $19 in your spending account and 4 days until pay day.

It used to be a panicked feeling; now I just think, "what the heck would I spend that much money on?"

My pay check is up by $73 with no extra work

I finally pulled my finger out and changed to paying my superannuation from my pre-tax salary. Because the taxable income is less I am putting the same into super but getting more in my pocket each fortnight.

I've been babysitting for 7.5 hours

Tonight is worth $150 to me. And to think I was bitching about wanting wine tonight instead of having to do this. Side hustle with free wifi

We millennials have a pretty fucking low bar.

Literally how I defined “wealthy” to someone last week.  This is my rich.

There is a quote I saw on Pinterest the other day that said, "Be so financially secure that you forget that its pay day".

I can't even imagine that right now😂

Save until it hurts

The best advice to follow.

I've been sitting here crunching numbers because I want to buy a new moisturiser, but I can't stand the thought of less than usual going into savings. I might have to put aside $10 a fortnight for a few months before I can afford the one I want.

Looks like I'll be using free samples for a while longer.
