It has officially been two months since I started “really” budgeting. Back in August, I wrote a post talking about budgeting and I mentioned a few of the budgeting options that are out there. I mentioned YNAB, Mint, Wallet, EveryDollar, and HoneyFi and at the time of writing the post, I was working my way […]
It may partly be due the fact that I am currently income-less and am harboring quite a bit of anxiety surrounding that fact, but I have been very interested in budgeting, saving, and organizing money for the last few weeks. If you have been reading this blog for a long time, you know that when […]
Today I’m here to talk about one of my favorite subjects, money, and how to save it 馃槈 The idea for this post came to me when I was listening to the Best of Both Worlds podcast and they were discussing money and spending habits and I thought it would be an interesting topic to […]
It’s no secret that around this time, you know- Christmas, New Year’s, time off from work and school, there is a lot of good and fun things- parties! dinners! friends! shopping! but so much of it can also leave me feeling sort of blah.

My brother and I spent 2.5 great days in Barcelona, enjoyed a lot of the incredible sites, and did it all relatively inexpensively. Here is what we did: Day One Stroll La Rambla, admiring the sites, shops, and hoards of people. Stop along the way for some incredible fruit cups or (overly sweet) 1 Euro […]
When friends and friends of friend’s contact me to ask about working as an auxiliar in Spain, one thing they always ask is: “is 1000 Euros enough to live on in Spain?” or “is the auxiliar salary enough?”. In general, it is enough. But you can’t do it ALL on the auxiliar salary (I’m saying […]
SO. 聽I am officially down to 299 Euros in my Spanish bank account. (I wrote this one week ago…I am actually officially down to 53 Euros but who’s counting?) 聽Don’t ask me how it happened because I’ll literally look at my hands like a little kid looks at their hands if you take a toy […]
