low income buying rules 💸💰💲
When you’re low income, every purchase has a ripple effect. Something small can easily turn into overdraft fees, credit card reliance, or stress later in the month. That’s why I stopped asking “Can I afford this right now?” And started asking: • Will this make next week harder? • Does

Book buying obsession
So my love of reading has always been here! But my love of retail therapy is always number one so add both hobbies together and you would get me who has a absolute insane about of unread books( in my opinion) so I’m cutting myself off and putting myself on retail therapy rehab and book buying ban!
