My name is Brooke I'm 28 years old! I like kittens, youtubers, tons of different tv shows, vlogging, capturing cool moments, having new experiences, and making awesome memories! I'm in multiple fandoms and feel very strong about fictional ships/characters! I get wayyyy to excited about little things that happen to me and I tend to freak out over them! My friends and family mean the world to me! If you wanna know anything else just ask...I'm a pretty open book!

I’m so glad that I have a job interview this afternoon. I’m hoping they offer benefits because if they do I’m taking it. It’s only part time, but honestly that’s okay at this point. I’ll just cut back on my spending and not do Ipsy until I have some extra money. I just have to get out of this place. I have so many reasons for leaving as well. But the most important is I was promised benefits after 3 months and here I am almost 7 months in and nothing. Let’s hope this job interview this afternoon works out.

Every time I get groceries I’m always appalled at how little you can get for like, $20. I was making banana pudding so I needed vanilla wafers but the brand name nilla wafers cost $4 a box. The minimum wage in my state is $7.25/hr. My friend put it really well when he said “imagine you work for an hour and someone hands you two boxes of nilla wafers and said ‘actually this is a bit more than what I owe you’”

How are some of y’all missing the point so bad. “Shop at aldi instead” “make your own food” “don’t buy brand name” “don’t buy unhealthy processed food” It’s not about the box of cookies. This is about how minimum wage pays peanuts and has stagnated for 12 years while the cost of living keeps growing. No one wants your financial advice about how to survive on beans and rice and frozen veggies. The smartest grocery list in the world is not gonna help you budget your way out of poverty. Please get a grip for the love of god
