Weekend Wanderings #28: What I Spent Q1 🤡💰
Hi! Happy Friday from Forest Heights in beautiful Athens, Georgia.💚🦌

My favorite stretch of tulips at the botanical garden here in Athens
I started tracking my monthly spending last year and have really enjoyed it. It’s very telling that in a month where I only made $1,722, I still decided to spend $988 on travel.🤑 On the more responsible end, I’m proud of tackling (some) debt and building emergency savings. Anyway, it feels bad to live under an exploitive, unstable system, but taking control of what you can, helps (at least it has for me).

🚨PSA: You have until Wednesday morning to enter Congaree’s Firefly Lottery. I have wanted to see these fireflies for years but still haven’t. 💡
The Lyrid meteor shower is coming — look up before dawn 4/22💫
