2023.03.25 01:37 Sabio02 Weekly Update

Weekly Update
This week provided the confirmation of last weeks bullish engulfing candle and the uptrend continued. This weeks action very closely followed the week of 11/27/2020. Hopefully the trend continues while we wait for the ST to fund or other news.
Warren Buffet started with $100 and is now worth over $104 Billion. Clearly he’s someone to listen to so I selected some quotes that seemed appropriate for the current sentiment.
"The best thing that happens to us is when a great company gets into temporary trouble...We want to buy them when they're on the operating table."
“Successful investing takes time, discipline, and patience. No matter how great the talent or effort, some things just take time: You can't" produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant.”
"The most important quality for an investor is temperament, not intellect. You need a temperament that neither derives great pleasure from being with the crowd or against the crowd."
"Widespread fear is your friend as an investor because it serves up bargain purchases."
"Most people get interested in stocks when everyone else is. The time to get interested is when no one else is. You can't buy what is popular and do well."
"The most common cause of low prices is pessimism—sometimes pervasive, sometimes specific to a company or industry. We want to do business in such an environment, not because we like pessimism but because we like the prices it produces. It’s optimism that is the enemy of the rational buyer."
"So smile when you read a headline that says 'Investors lose as market falls.' Edit it in your mind to 'Disinvestors loose as market falls—but investors gain.' Though writers often forget this truism, there is a buyer for every seller and what hurts one necessarily helps the other.”
"It's been an ideal period for investors: A climate of fear is their best friend. Those who invest only when commentators are upbeat end up paying a heavy price for meaningless reassurance."

2023.03.25 01:33 Oofmadonnn Try this if you are struggling

Let me start by saying my life was a TOTAL MESS due to 20+ years of trauma at home and around family. Things are still tough, but in just the last 2 weeks I have made tremendous progress and I wanted to share my experience just in case it can help anyone else. For the first time in my life, I can finally feel some ACTUAL HOPE for my future and hopefully you can too.
I honestly can't believe how much better I feel now and the only thing I've changed/added is this. It is not for everyone but it is definitely worth a try in my opinion. It's free and does not require anything beyond a simple pen/pencil, paper, and a quiet space. It's a method called the daily practice. If you Google "crappy childhood fairy daily practice" it will come up. You should watch her videos to learn the ins and outs but in a nutshell, here is how it works
-When you wake up, get a pen and paper, and write down your fears and resentments. There's a specific format, you write "I have fear that..." and then whatever is on your mind. Or "I have resentment at x because I have fear that..." So for me an example might be "I have resentment at my neighbors because I have fear that they make too much noise." And you just keep writing for 5-10+ minutes, don't overthink it (hard I know, trust me), just whatever comes to mind. You can write as much or as little as you like, be gentle with yourself and do what you can handle.
-After writing, immediately take the paper and crumple it up and throw it in the trash. (Unless you have a friend/buddy you want to read it to, then save it for 1 day before discarding it after reading it to them. I choose to just throw it away and don't read mine to anyone else).
-Set a timer on your phone or some sort of alarm for 20 minutes away and find a quiet space. Close your eyes, relax as best you can (again, hard for people like us with possible PTSD, I get it!, do your best), and simply repeat a neutral word softly. The example used by Anna Runkle in her course is "this." So you just have your eyes closed, and you repeat "this...this...this...this" until the timer beeps and then you're done.
-Repeat steps 1-3 again around 5-6 hours later. So not right before bed, more like after dinner if you work the traditional 9-5 schedule. You ideally want to have a few hours before bed when you repeat it.
Stick with it for 1 week and honestly assess your progress.
I'm happy to explain further, or answer any questions but this has been a literal life changer for me. I've never felt this way in my entire life. I'm happy, and hopeful and productive now. I honestly did not believe that was possible 2 weeks ago, I was beyond rock bottom, barely could get out of bed, barely could shower or shave or do laundry or anything. My life isn't perfect by any means but now I have HOPE and I feel so much better!! I do still struggle with the basics here and there but it's like my brain is STARTING TO HEAL and I notice a huge difference. For just one specific example, 2 weeks ago I was struggling massively with binging on porn, it was a huge waste of time and just bad news. I hadn't been on any dates in 20+ years. And in the last 2 weeks I have already been on 1 date, it did not work out (we just didn't click) but guess what, instead of binging on porn and being sad/depressed/triggered like I normally would, I decided to reach out to someone else and asked them out and they also said yes! So now I have ANOTHER date lined up for next week. And if it works out, great. If not, I'll keep trying. Trust me, this is such a massive change in my mindset, I was stuck just watching porn with no possible escape until I added this daily practice. I would write down things like "I have fear that I binge on porn" or "I have fear that I use porn to escape" or whatever else, and then a few days later my urges just sort of went away! And I felt this new urge to actually meet real women. So I would really encourage anyone and everyone to give this a try for 1 week and see what happens for you.

2023.03.25 01:33 IKnowMeNotYou Update: Going full time!

I got lucky today. They ended the project, I was an integral part of this week and today they told me that they will end my contract in 5 weeks. Since I do not need the money and only extended the contract to see what happens to the project in the first place - just personal research you know - I would have ended the contract right on the spot, but who am I to tell them what to do. I was not allowed to during the project and so it quickly turned into a death march almost right after we started. So lets get paid some more for the cruelty that is todays software development where you have all the responsibilities and no authority along with getting some lies served ice cold over and over again... .

I do not want to bore you with a too much detailed update but let me mention some key points:
---
What has happend since the last update?:
* I trained a certain family of setups which mostly play themselves out around 11:00 till 12:15. Since it is not sanctioned by the Wiki (it is aiming at price corrections), I can not post most of my trades in the reddit live chat.
* I continued to integrate the content of the Wiki into my main knowledge collection but not having much time the last weeks I am still not finished.
* I started to study the articles and the ebook of oneoption one sentence at a time while turning those into maps and diagrams. Once I am done I will merge those with my main knowledge base as I did with the Wiki.
* I collected more and more RealDayTrading articles I want to read and mine for gold but again barely having any time and priority it is hard to catch up and get ahead of the ever growing list of articles to read.
* I started to watch the complete catalog of both Hari's and Pete's Youtube videos. Great stuff but also time consuming as I take a lot of screenshots and notes. I also pay attention to the small things and especially the used language (instantly liked the L+/- and U+/- notion!).
* I still do stupid stuff as expectable but my hatred towards Trading View grew substantially. My whole workflow is sometimes a mess thanks to something being wrong with multi layout multi tab setups and loading and saving those dynamically. (Maybe using the desktop version would help?)
* I have founded my Tradier account after it got suspended.
* I got used to OSP and love the scanners. Wish I would have get it early (Tradier's account approval process took its time as I missed an email and their UI was not telling me about anything being at miss).
* I incooperated TradeXChange news and since enjoy the morning and after market wrap up along with the live news. The UI is dated and the full text search in broken. I will most likely downgrade the subscription level thou as I do not get live wire working but before I will try once more and ask support.
* I still do not stalk the live chats (reddit and oneoption) just to not get into the game of copy trades and to see if I can make it on my own.


Plan for the next 5 weeks (before being freed from wage slavery once again):
* I want to read the option related book promoted by the Wiki to slowly build up the necessary knowledge to get into options some months down the line, I also want to visit the option knowledge outlined in the Wiki and oneoption and extend my main knowledge base. Also Pete's and Harí's videos will continue to add to this as well.
* I will focus on my own software I created based on my data subscription with Nasdaq. I collected 140+ days worth of data and want to automate most of the things I do to analyze my setups and trades. Goal is to run my own extended live scanners, annotate charts my Alpaca orders, draw trend lines and functional components and more importantly to use these annotations to compile statistics. The final goal is to support research and actual trading decision making along with replacing Trading View and TC2000 in my current workflow.
* I want to do at least two trades daily between 11:15 and 12:15 just to have a practical component. Those again will most likely not be sanctioned by the Wiki and therefore will not be published. It is just to keep my routine of reading news, earnings, analyzing and predicting the market movements, select some stocks and do some trading alive and well. I just want to maintain being aware of each day's market movements.
* I want to daily spend 1-2 hours on studying and learning along with extending my notes. This also includes 2-4 hours each weekend day.


For the three months of full time training and studying
* I want to trade the full spectrum of the setups that the Wiki advices for, along with what else I myself am comfortable with. At this point I will publish the trades that are sanctioned by the Wiki either in form of a weekly journal and/or in the live reddit chat to make me open for being ridiculed and also to keep me aware and honest.
* I will further improve my software and my statistics.
* The goal is to really get all the (statistical and actual) data that I need to trust what I do to be beneficial allowing me to do what I do without doubt and hesitation.
* I will reduce my study time to only take place during the weekends.
* I will focus on my trading routine which will include proper sleep cycles, relaxation habits, journaling and reviewing.
* I plan to play the whole trading day (morning, lunch and afternoon) but excluding the first 30min and last 15min.
* I will start paper trading swing trades.
* I might fully transition to 1k positions once I have proven that my win rate remains to be stable within the first 6 weeks.
* I will try to do some research projects on the weekend including having a look into financial and options related data.


After the three months:
* If I can clearly see a way to further improvements including the money making part, I will add another three months worth of my savings to full time training and trading. If not I will secure myself another 6 month contract.
* I will decide if I will continue to subscribe to TotalView data or replace it with a cheaper but less detailed market data offering.
* I want to go 1 share with my swing trades if past performance permits.
* I want to start paper trading options.

2023.03.25 01:28 Intrepid_Wanderer #SayTheirNames: Bonnie K. Hunt

Bonnie was 44 when she was killed by Planned Parenthood.
She underwent a legal abortion at a Planned Parenthood abortion facility in Illinois. Soon after, she had to be hospitalized at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. Unfortunately, she never recovered. Bonnie died on August 5, 2008.
Bonnie’s mother sued Planned Parenthood for malpractice. The case dragged on for years and was eventually dismissed by stipulation or agreement.
In an article for the Chicago Tribune, Planned Parenthood of West Loop, Illinois was confronted about whether or not they had failed to report the death of Irene Stevenson, one of their abortion clients. While they refused to confirm if Irene’s death was ever reported, the facility claimed to have reported a dead client in 2008. Records of the many lawsuits filed against Planned Parenthood finally identified the 2008 death as Bonnie Kay Hunt.
Years after Bonnie and Irene were killed, the same abortion facility killed Tonya Reaves. Planned Parenthood will continue to kill until they are shut down.
Enough is enough.

2023.03.25 00:33 ChinaLouise So my aunt just died

I'm not looking for consolation here, pretty mixed feelings about that overall, my rant is how people are reacting to my news
"What do you mean you're not going to the funeral. I'm sure your family loves you. I don't understand why you won't go home. Just call your brother"
Just shut up, they have no idea how my family is. I'm not invited. They don't want me there and I don't want to be there. I wasn't even mentioned as existing in the obituary. I only know she died second hand. Not everyone's family are good people and not everyone is fucking loved by them

2023.03.25 00:04 BBJackie Who controls the corporations who control our news? ARTICLE FROM 09/2021 if you find another more recent info please add

https://commonreader.wustl.edu/how-a-company-called-blackrock-shapes-your-news-your-life-our-future/
ARTICLE FROM 09/2021
EXCERPT:
Who controls the corporations who control our news? A helpful index was just compiled—not by mainstream media, but by Harvard researchers exploring media’s future. Skimming the list, I see two names again and again: BlackRock Fund Advisors and Vanguard Group.
BlackRock and Vanguard are two of the Big Three (every industry is clumping) passive fund asset management firms. The third, State Street, is owned by BlackRock. Whose largest shareholder is Vanguard.
Together, BlackRock and Vanguard own:
• Eighteen percent of Fox.
• Sixteen percent of CBS, and therefore also of Sixty Minutes.
• Thirteen percent of Comcast, which owns NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, and the Sky media group.
• Twelve percent of CNN.
• Twelve percent of Disney, which owns ABC and FiveThirtyEight.
• Between ten and fourteen percent of Gannett, which owns more than 250 Gannett daily newspapers plus USA Today.
• Ten percent of the Sinclair local television news, which controls seventy-two percent of U.S. households’ local TV.
• A large unspecified chunk of Graham Media Group, which owns Slate and Foreign Policy.

2023.03.24 23:44 HSeldon2020 Three Examples - Three Mistakes - Three Lessons

Example 1: Betrayal!
You go long stock FAFO at $100.20. Stock is bullish, market is bullish, daily chart is bullish - it broke through its SMA 100 on the Daily, and has higher than average volume. Great choice by you! You're a champ.
But right after you get the shares, FAFO drops to $99.85, back below its SMA 100 (a breach you never confirmed). That's ok, only down .35 - not a problem. Sure you took 500 shares in a $15,000 account (using Day Trading Buying Power), but whatever, it's fine, hell, the market is still strong!
Market drops.
FAFO had Relative Strength but for some reason known only to the God of You're Fucked it no longer does...and now FAFO is at $99.25, down .95. Still, support is at $98.25 and unless it breaks through that, your thesis is still intact. Besides, it is not like this stock is never going to be above $100.20 again, right??
Shit, you can't trade because all your money is tied up in this damn stock, in fact your Option Buying Power is now negative. Well, there goes the idea of "waiting it out"
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Four fucks. It is at $98.50- down $1.70, and you are now down $850 on the trade. Maybe you should just cut it, but it is so close to support, I might as well wait it out.
Yes! It bounced back up! $99.25. Getting closer. Market going up too....this is great, I've been saved!
It hits $100.20 - your entry. You exit. Break-Even.
Verdict: You. Fucked. Up.
In this scenario, your thesis was finally starting to work and the stock was just about to do exactly what you thought it would and you.....exited. You got so freaked out by the prospect of losing and did not want to have the position go back into the red that you took the scratch. Going through your mind is one thing - "If this stock drops again and I could have gotten out at break-even I will be beside myself with murderous rage!" (perhaps not that severe, but you get the point).
You no longer trusted the trade. It already caused you emotional pain and now you wanted out of the relationship.
In the fucked-up heads of traders, the position betrayed your trust, it went down when you thought it was going to go up, it made you anxious and now you're supposed to just carry on like nothing happened?? No fucking way. Gone. FAFO you lost out...because you lost.... E!
But just like in so many of your real life relationships, if you look back you will realize FAFO did nothing wrong, it acted how it is supposed to act. The stock pullback back with some profit taking, went down to test support, and then bounced right back up ready to go, but it was too late, you were gone.
At the end of the day FAFO was at $102.17, and enjoying life with someone else.
Example 2: Gotta have Hope!
You short GTFO at $43.65. The stock has fallen below all three major MA's on the daily chart. It gapped down today (as did the entire sectoindustry), and broke below daily compression. Volume is good, and the stock is weak to SPY, and on top of that SPY is dropping faster than your bank balance. Another winning choice. Madmartigan, you ARE great!
But then Fed speaker Fucktwit says, "This feels like a good time for a pause in the hikes so we can assess any lag impacts on the economy". Well, the market certainly liked that! SPY goes up like a rocket and since GFTO is in the Tech sector, it pops as well. Within two candles the stock is at $44.30. You are down .65, but you bought 1,000 shares (because you are a greedy motherfucker), so you are down $650.
However, GTFO still hasn't broken it's Resistance from a downward sloping Algo line at $45.10, nor has it breached the SMA200 which is at $45.60. I mean you were smart, super smart even! You made sure this short not only ticked off every box, but that there were multiple levels of Resistance in place.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Four Fucks again. GTFO just smashed through that Algo line and threw its hands in the air like it just didn't care. That little bastard is now at $45.30, You are now down, $1.65. That's $1,650. Think about what you could have done with that money, You could have gotten your kid that Playstation 5 with like 10 games and still had money left over. Think about how happy your child would have been. And now you have lost that money. It's gone. Depressing isn't? All because Fed Fucktwit decided to start shit. Makes you want to pull a Will Smith and smack the shit of out him, saying, "Keep rate hikes out of your damn mouth!"
Well, you can't close it now, you just can't - if you do, that money is lost and there's no Playstation (that you weren't going to buy anyway). So now you have to hope the SMA holds.
Shit. Market just closed. I need to wait until tomorrow.
Yeah. Bad fucking idea. The next day tech is leading the way and GTFO gaps up to $46.25. You are now down $2.60, or $2,600. Fuck the Playstation, you could have gone on a family trip. You could have used the money to fix shit around the house. You could have bought an awesome new TV, or a new laptop. Now you are really depressed and you close the trade.
Verdict: You. Fucked. Up. Again.
You held an underwater short that was heating up with the entire sector on a News-based bounce....overnight?? What the hell is wrong with you?!?! No. No. No. No.
Fine, the first bounce up wasn't your fault. Fed Fucktwit screwed it up for everyone that was short Tech. You can't predict that. But the reason you held is because you had a position so fucking large that you could not stomach the idea of taking the loss.
You held it because at least then there is....hope. Hope that tomorrow will restore sanity to the market and GTFO will resume its downward spiral.
If this was 300 shares you know you would have closed it. A loss of $495 isn't fun, but you can stand it. You just could not take the idea of losing that much money when there is a chance that you can still somehow get out unscathed.
All of that analysis, all of your strategy, was reduced to - hope.
Let's please stop that shit? Ok?
Example 3: Never Went Broke Taking A Profit
Dayummmm GFY is looking tight! I mean, earnings were fit as shit, and GFY glammed up! Going from $120.35 to $134.20 overnight! Right through all Resistance levels, and now the fucker is at an all-time high. That's right. Ain't nobody holding bags above this price. Volume is strong. Market is strong. GFY is hella strong. You're gonna shoot your shot. Bam - Long GFY at $134.20 .
And sure, you only have $27,000 in the account, but you have $108,000 in buying power baby! Go big or go home right? (although, you're already home most likely....just sayin) 750 Shares!
Aight...it consolidating. Totes fine. Let it do its thing. It wants to hang between $133.90 and $134.30 that's fine with you. As long as it kicks those candles and pops soon.
It does! That's what I'm talking about! Boo-ya! $135.20. Exit. Out. Boy, Bye. $1 Profit. $750 in my pocket (or in your account and we don't think about the fact it will never make its way to your pocket).
"Nice trade" says everyone. You beam with pride. Hell yeah it was a nice trade.
Verdict: You. Dumb. Shit.
Here you have a stock that is clearly bullish off earnings. Hitting an all-time high, which is statistically where stocks are most likely to continue to run up. Breaks out of consolidation and pops up on a strong market. Literally everything you want that stock to do.
Do you add to the trade? You still have some buying power left, you could even supplement it will Call Options. Nah...you don't even think about that.
Do you just let it ride, and wait until it seems like there is actually Resistance? Nah....you briefly think about it, but why throw away a nice $750 win?
This is exactly where you hold on to the stock. It is literally the best possible scenario for that trade.
You don't see any of that because your mindset is still - "You won and managed to take money out of the market", you still see that as beating the odds. You didn't lose. It is like you see the market as a casino and cashing in winnings is beating the house.
What you are not realizing is that "winning" should be the norm, it is the expectation when you trade. You're not "getting away with something" when you make a profit. Trading is not about "take the money and run".
Are there situations where you should quickly take profit? Of course there is, but your mindset cannot differentiate between them. There is a difference between taking a profit on a trade in a choppy market with a stock that has some Relative Strength, and going long on a stock that is at an all-time high, breaking compression, and coming off earnings.
It is not only learning the difference, but also realizing that, yes, you should be up that $1 and not only that....you should be looking for a lot more!
Stop taking profit too damn fast!
Best, H.S.

2023.03.24 23:42 orangeybigapple I am 27 years old, make $80,000 working as a Social Media Producer in NYC and this week was my birthday!

Assets and Debt

Retirement Balance: $36,428 in a Roth IRA, $4,571 in an individual brokerage account, and $19,960 in a 401k. Right now I contribute 6% because my company’s match policy maxes out at 3%. I’ve always contributed this much regardless of my salary progression to max out my company’s policy. I’ve been at the same company for the entirety of my salaried career so this is all of it too!
I go to my Dad for pretty much everything money-related. I’m very lucky to have a father who opened up a Roth IRA for me at 22 and practically forced me to open up my own brokerage account a little before I turned 26. Right now I contribute $250 a month to my Roth and $250 to the S&P 500 at the end of every month. This is an automatic payment out of my bank account so I always leave enough in my checking account for this to avoid a late fee. My dad is huge on maxing out a Roth IRA so my parents match the other $3,000 each year. I would have significantly less in my Roth IRA without this and I’m extremely grateful. Apart from this and my phone bill I’m financially independent and would love to make a little more money soon so I can max out my Roth IRA on my own. (It’d really be ideal if I stayed on my parents' family plan for my phone though haha.)
As mentioned before, I really didn’t want to open up a brokerage account at first because I was (and still am) extremely intimidated by the whole process. Eventually I gave in and we settled on an automatic payment to the S&P 500 so I really don’t have to think about things. As usual, my dad was right and I’m really proud of that $4,571 since opening it up. I contribute the same amount regardless of how well the market is doing too to make it easier. I also do not touch this money ever because my spending habits can be all over the place (I’m working on it!)
Savings Account Balance: $1,580 in emergency savings
At the height of the pandemic this was up to $10k. I paid NYC rent while living with my parents until my lease ended and then kept living between my house or my BF’s to save as much as possible. Living at home really messed with my relationship with my parents (and my independence honestly) so I scrambled back to NYC in June of 2021 and furnished this apartment with the majority of my emergency savings. My boyfriend lives with me now but he didn’t then, so this felt AWESOME knowing I did it by myself. I’d ideally love for this number to be much higher so I’m working on it. It’s admittedly been hard because of my spending habits.
Checking Account Balance: $551.63
As mentioned above, I contribute $500 at the end of every month so I like to keep that amount in my checking account. I put all expenses on my credit cards and only pay rent and utilities directly from this account at the end of the month when I get paid.
Credit Card Debt: $0

Income

Income Progression: I started as a “mommy’s helper” when I was 12 years old for some families on my street and quickly became the resident babysitter on the block as I got older. This was great money in high school in addition to my jobs! Through high school and college I worked as a cashier at a bakery, a receptionist at a hair salon, a day-camp counselor, an associate at Skechers (this was easily my favorite because 3 of my best friends worked there at the same time), a wedding videographer, and the front desk of a camera equipment facility at my college.
I’ve been working in social media (with a focus on video production/editing) for 6 years, two years of which were internships. I’ve been at my current job for just shy of 4 years now at an advertising agency in NYC. I graduated college in 2018 with a 6-month fellowship at a pretty big news website as a video producer making $22/hour. I was one of about 50 interns (15 of which were also part of my graduating class). The job description was identical to that of an Associate Video Producer and the only difference was the pay. I remember being devastated when I wasn’t offered a salary of $50,000 like some of the people in my intern class.
For the next 6 months I was living the unemployed life. This was a super dark time in my life and I remember feeling so worthless. The amount of unanswered applications really got to me and I really wanted someone to just give me a chance. During this time I made due by walking and watching more dogs than I can count (S.O. Rover and Wag!) and wrote a ton of freelance articles. Fun fact, I only heard back from companies during my employment that I had connections at. (I was ghosted or immediately rejected from every other company I applied to. Connections. Are. Everything.)
Finally, I was hired as a Video Editor working on a TV network account. My starting salary was $60,000 which I was super happy about at the time so I didn’t even bother negotiating (huge mistake!) I only made this salary for about 9 months before the pandemic hit and I was partially furloughed. My salary was cut by 20% for the next 6 months. Making $48,000 obviously wasn’t fun but I was living at home at the time and my only real expense was the rent I was still paying in NYC so I was still able to save a good amount at this time. I also got Fridays off because of this and it was a DREAM!!! I’ve never been more productive honestly so I’m a hugeeee fan of the four-day work week trend going around right now. Right around my 2-year anniversary I got Wa 15% raise to $69,000. 11 months after that I was promoted to Social Media Producer and my current salary of $80,040.
Monthly Take Home: $4,413.40

Expenses

Rent: $1100 (my boyfriend and I currently share a lofted studio for $2200/month)
I’ve been in my current apartment for just shy of 2 years now which is a big deal considering I left every apartment prior to this after my 1 year lease ended! Our current lease is up in September and we’re DYING for more space.. I’m really nervous considering the housing market in New York so TBD on how that’s gonna go.
Electric: $35ish in the winter (my share). My share of the bill can go up to $115 or so over the summer which is brutal.
Subscriptions:
Gym: $92
Apple Music: $10.99
Pet insurance (my share): $24.40
Wifi: $54.99 (I cover Wifi in full and my boyfriend covers Youtube TV for us)
Debt Payments: I’m very lucky that I have $0 debt after school.
Parental Help: Phone plan, Streaming services (Amazon Prime, Netflix, HBOMax, etc. and their Roth IRA match for me every year).

Diary

Day 1:
9:15am: I roll out of bed (I’ve been working on going to bed and waking up earlier and am failing). Since it’s Friday I order pick up from the Starbucks down the street and pick up H and my usual orders. I’ve been known to get into funks where I order Starbucks every day for H and I. Right now I only allow myself Friday Starbucks to combat this. I pre-load my card in $25 increments so technically this order was free.
9:30am: I’m back and ready to start my work day. I anticipate a pretty quiet work day today and since it’s my birthday this weekend I really want a haircut. I found an amazing place in Chinatown months ago that I want to go back to because I’m not trying to spend a ton of money. I call and make an appointment for 5pm
4:30pm: I leave my apartment and get ready to catch the Subway to Chinatown. $2.75
5:40pm: I chopped a few inches off and my hair hasn’t been this short since I graduated college. I’m especially obsessed with my hair because of the price. $51.60 with tip!
5:45pm: I make it to the subway and get ready to go home. $2.75
6:15pm: I make it home and greet my dog and get him dinner. As I’m going through my closet and trying to figure out what to wear for my birthday celebration tomorrow, I get a FaceTime from one of my friends from home. She made it to the city (she’s staying at a mutual friend's place) and is wondering if I want to grab dinner and drinks with them. I accept and start to get ready.
H has been out all day watching March Madness games with his friends so I make sure to give our puppy some extra treats and love while I’m home. After a long shower I throw on my coat and get ready to meet my friends for dinner.
7:15pm: I make it down to the Q with 1 minute to spare before the next downtown train. Always a win! $2.75
7:45pm: I greet my two friends L and P and we immediately start discussing what we’re craving for dinner. We eventually settled on a Mexican place just a short walk away. We get large specialty margaritas, an order of guac and chips, and three orders of enchiladas. It honestly was not the best dinner considering we didn’t get our drink orders until we were halfway through our entrees. Upon getting the bill, we noticed that the restaurant charged a 20% tip with our orders so we split the bill evenly three ways! $76
After dinner we make our way back to P’s apartment. After a couple more hours of catching up I decided to call an Uber home. $22.91
Daily total: $135.85
Day 2:
9:30am: I wake up and am already so excited for the night ahead. (That’s my excuse because I decided to break my Starbucks rule right after I wake up). This time I do have to reload my card. $25.00
9:45am: I make a quick trip to the grocery store for some breakfast supplies for H and I. I’m cooking today! $15.78
Our dinner reservation isn’t until 8pm and I have no plans before then so I lounged for most of the day. At one point H and I decided to take our dog to the dog park for an hour before starting to get ready for the night ahead.
H picks up the car to the restaurant. We went to a pizza place that makes pizzas up to 10 feet long and it was such a fun night. One of my best girlfriends and I share a birthday three days apart so we decided to celebrate together this year. The final bill is $1402.20 and I am happy to put my Amex down for the 4x credit card points. (Fun fact: I have not paid for a flight out of pocket in two years since having this card. I love it!) People will be paying me back though, so my share is only $78.
We spent the rest of the night bar hopping and ringing in my birthday at midnight. It was honestly such a great night. When we were finally done dancing and ready to turn in, H and I caught a cab with one of my best friends and her boyfriend since we live close. H picked up the tab as well as my drinks throughout the course of the night so it was technically free!
2:20am: We arrive home and start getting ready for bed. I start chugging water hoping I’m not hungover on my birthday. (I swear my hangovers get worse every year).
Daily total: $118.78
Day 3:
10:30am: My steady water intake from the night before definitely helped because I woke up not hungover! I spent the morning cuddling up to H and my puppy on the couch while I answered several “Happy Birthday” phone calls from my family members. I seriously have the best family in the world and I’m so grateful for my parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins that still take the time to this day to make the day feel special!
12:00pm: Five of my friends from home show up at my apartment because we’re planning to all go to a birthday brunch together before they catch their trains home. We settle on a fun diner and H joins us! Since it’s my birthday, my friends and H all split my meal for me so it was free.
2:00pm: My friends grab their bags from my apartment and we start to say our goodbyes. I’m so happy they were all able to come in for the weekend to celebrate!
4:00pm: Since I’m not as full from lunch anymore I decide it’s time for my birthday Starbucks. I always try to order something expensive since it’s free!
7:00pm: After a nap and some lounging on the couch, H asks me what I want for dinner. I settle on sushi and H ordered UberEats for us.
The rest of my birthday consisted of watching Netflix, taking a 30 minute shower and doing a face mask before crawling into bed. It was truly such a nice and relaxing birthday after the night before. 10/10.
Daily Total: $0
Day 4:
8:30am: It’s Monday and it feels very much like it because it’s pouring outside. I spent much of the day working from my couch instead of my desk because it felt right.
12:30pm: H stays home on Mondays too and neither of us feel like making lunch. I venture out and buy us some Sweetgreen for lunch. $28.69
2:00pm: Today is an extremely slow day at work so I decided to subway to my friend's apartment to pick up some of the leftover pizza from Saturday night earlier than planned to avoid rush hour. I want this pizza to be our dinner tonight so I can avoid cooking again. $2.75
3:00pm: After some catching up with my friend I returned to the subway with pizza in tow! $2.75
3:30pm: On my way home I stop by the local smoke shop and see my friend Mary Jane. Since she’s legal now in New York I’m seeing her more often. $135.20
4:30pm: I’m going to a friend’s Bachelorette next month and one of her bridesmaids just sent the itinerary for the weekend ahead. She asked us to Venmo her for a couple of the activities ahead of time. This is going to be my first Bachelorette I’m attending so I don’t have much to compare to, but this entire process has been so organized in my opinion and the bridesmaids have done a great job at keeping it as affordable as possible. $70.62
7:30pm: I finish out the rest of my workday and heat up some of the leftover pizza from Saturday in the airfryer for H and I. I love enjoying my Monday nights watching the Bachelor with a glass of wine in hand, so I pick up a bottle of wine from a shop right off the subway. $16.32
After a couple glasses of wine and “the most dramatic episode ever of the Bachelor” H and I start getting ready for bed.
Daily total: $256.33
Day 5:
8:30am: I roll out of bed and start getting ready for my workday. I had to shoot a couple pieces of content this day so I didn’t spend much of the day sitting down which was really nice. I currently work on a couple food brands’ social media content doing anything from food styling, food photography, video content, etc. It’s a lot of fun and definitely allows me to tap into my creative side.
12:30pm: Since I worked through my lunch while eating more leftover pizza, I decided to get a gel manicure during my lunch break. This is a habit I picked up after my last promotion and I don’t regret it. I’m really trying to prioritize self care the more I get older. $46.59 with tip
5:30pm: I finish out the rest of my work day and start to get ready for some dinner plans with a friend who couldn’t make it Saturday night.
7:00pm: I say goodbye to H and my puppy and catch the train downtown to dinner. $2.75
10:30pm: My friend and I spent hours at this restaurant gossiping and ended up being the last two people there! Oops! It was a cute little Indian restaurant and reasonably priced considering the amount of food we ordered. We split the bill down the middle. $69.44
11:00pm: I arrive home after getting myself a cab home instead of taking the subway. I had a bad experience not too long ago and I like to avoid going late at night if possible. I know it’s not the best financial habit but tonight I feel anxious. $22.20
Daily total: $140.98
Day 6:
9:30am: I totally stayed up way too late scrolling on TikTok last night after dinner so I sleep in super late this morning. Thankfully today is just a meeting day for me so I settle in at my desk and try to imagine my Keurig coffee is Starbucks instead.
12:30pm: H had to stay home today from work because of an arrest warrant that went wrong on the street of his office building (scary!) I have a buy-one get one free deal at Chipotle that’s going to expire soon so I offer to buy us lunch. $17.42
Tonight H and I have dinner plans with one of his best friends and his girlfriend P. P and I also have birthdays just a couple days apart so the four of us decided to celebrate together.
5:30pm: I stop working and start getting ready for our 8pm reservation. We’re going to Il Mulino which is one of our favorites but definitely more of a special occasion restaurant due to the prices.
7:30pm: H wants to take a taxi to dinner so he offers to pay. We get to Il Mulino just in time for our reservation and had such a great night. After a few hours we notice that we’re the last table at the restaurant and H makes a joke that I did this the night before too. (I promise this is not a typical thing for me haha). H splits the tab with P’s boyfriend.
10:45pm: I order H and I an Uber home and we call it a night pretty much immediately. $17.16
Daily total: $34.58
Day 7:
8:30am: Another day of meetings for me. I have a couple of client meetings where I have to present some of the content I’ve made in the last couple of weeks that all went well.
12:30pm: H stayed home again today because we’re planning to visit his family this weekend and we need to pack. I’m really jealous because H has leftovers from our dinner but I don’t so I have to go out and buy lunch. I buy myself some chili and a piece of bread from a place near our apartment. $10.89
6:00pm: I polish off the rest of the day by brainstorming a couple more concepts for the month ahead with my Social Media Manager. Around 6:30pm H’s dad picks us up (he drives to Manhattan every day) and we start driving home to H’s family’s house. Although we always run into traffic, H and I like doing this because it’s easy with our puppy and we avoid paying for a train.
8:00pm: H’s dad picked up a pizza on the way home for all of us to enjoy and we’re starving by the time we get back to the house. After dinner we caught up with H’s brother and watched some Netflix before going to bed.
Daily Total: $10.89
Weekly Total: $697.41
Reflections: This was definitely an expensive week for me but I do identify as a messy spender for a reason. I don’t typically go out to eat as much as I did this week but it was my birthday and I definitely celebrated! (If this were my weekly total every week I wouldn’t be able to keep my credit card debt at $0 so do keep that in mind). I’ve been working on saying no more to things if I don’t think they’re worth the money and my friends and I tend to cook in our apartments together more than going out anyways but it certainly is interesting seeing how much money I can waste by cutting corners like subways and cooking lunch/dinner. As I mentioned in the Assets and Debt section I don’t touch any of my investments for a reason because the amount of money I spend month to month can be drastically different. Here’s to a much more frugal next week of spending!
