I wear old potato sacks on the weekend because I'm so frugal
I'm only 25 but I live off 40% of my salary because I was raised frugal and spending money is painful.
I buy clothes at target, Belks if I'm feeling fancy
Enjoy. Experiences will stay with you and you'll grow as a professional.
$3000 (flights and hotels) for two from the west coast - which I think is a reasonable value
I still buy half my clothes at goodwill and splurge at H&M sometimes.😂 I get compliments all the time on my clothes at work and nobody knows
Remember, Money is like the dirt on your hand. It comes and it goes. Never let it be anything more
Fly business class to Shanghai, you'll get over it
Treat yo self. Enjoy life, you work hard (I'm assuming you do). I booked a trip in January to a few countries in Africa for a safari, felt a little sick paying for the trip, but all I do is work work work work work...I've earned it
I sold my potato sacks and now wear banana sacks because they are cheaper and I'm #frugal
I live in the hood right now to save $ on rent... definitely know what you are feeling though to save money. Congrats and enjoy your vacation!
I know I should get over myself and that others could only dream such things - I get it - I used to have those dreams! But part of me is still getting used to this lifestyle
How much was it? I love discussing social class in the consulting firm context
Welcome to my home town! $3000 flights and hotels for two is a good deal. During summer/winter break the ticket can easily go over $2000/person non-stop flight from NY to Shanghai
If you're in track to meet your financial goals, you should feel no shame!!!
Thanks all. Given the FB love received for this, clearly others empathize and feel the same way. I guess we are highly privileged, not necessarily by family background, but by getting here through grit. I think I'll savor my trip to Shanghai a little more 👍
So all those sky miles and you actually had to pay for a vacation ?
I did Bali thus summer for super little. Aurfare with points and a week at 5 star places for under $700 (included all tours etc). Travel is the best and always worth it- and is an investment
I bought a $600 banana republic suit for $300. My dirty little secret at work.
I just bought myself a round the world ticket in business for $8000. I wasn't born into money either. But I've now learnt that whoever said money can't buy you happiness was smoking some damn good shit
No shame in being frugal. But if you are a consultant shopping for clothes at target or goodwill, you don't understand the profession.
