money date #4, 12/19/2018 (celebrating and hustling)

All in all, it hasn’t been a terrible week. I celebrated my birthday with some really lovely family members, ate delicious food, and relaxed; and it was great! Plus, I’m expecting to bring in a big chunk of revenue from my business this week, and at the beginning of January. Everything balances out at the end!

I thought I’d try something different this week and breakdown some of my expenses in detail!
