It's been a little while since I asked you to check in with your spending, and I could use a little check-up myself. Surveying the last five things that had me swiping my debit card or handing over dollar bills is a fun way to recap my most recent purchases. Here are the five things I've spent money on most recently; what are yours?
- iPhone (my old phone broke)
- Tank of gas
- Acai Berry Smoothie
- Coffee
- Eyebrow wax
