I used to always have $1500-1800 after all my bills. that was before meeting my fiancé and kids ♀️♀️ I always tell him not to spend to have a cushion after bills but he spends and then something dumb and small goes through (app, Acorn, etc) then we are negative with an OD fee ♀️ It kills me bc we make a lot of money and are always so broke. When I first started out as a hair stylist I was making significantly less but always was ahead, had that cushion, had money saved.
