this has been arguably the most transformative school year for me
& it’s not because of school at all honestly. I’ve learned so much about myself and life.
I can admit that being used to getting mostly everything I want made me somewhat entitled but I definitely learned that the world owes me nothing real quick
I’ve learned so much about personal finances to make sure we’re never in this predicament again though
my mom losing her job due to getting breast cancer really did it tbh
growing up I was spoiled because she wanted us to have everything she never did
when I turned 18 and was getting ready to go to school I thought she was going to help me with expenses so I could focus just on school
she was diagnosed two weeks later & that’s when reality started to kick in. she still gave me $500 towards my balance when she got her insurance money but the rest had to go towards paying her bills up when she got fired
Iuckily I had a cool lil amount of money saved up from only using my mamas & my BoA internship because it definitely came through for bills, books, etc but being broke is definitely a humbling experience
