@selmamakescents: $40,000 GROSS in NYC was not providing me the life I knew I wanted to live so instead of continuing to ESCAPE that reality I decided to work really hard to make the life I wanted to live happen!!! Social media actually played a HUGE part in that because this teacher salary wasn’t about to do it on its own! There were a lot of “sorry I can’t go” conversations 🤷🏾♀️ and I don’t regret them. I really had to do different to relax my nervous system! It was worth it and still is as I continue to build and please know those $2…$5 savings deposits add up!!! #investingforbeginners #survivalmode #savingmoney
