therapy and then whatever I've left I
put towards my savings right now I have
about forty five hundred dollars in
savings here's my last statement I go to
Trader Joe's every week so grocery
shopping is a very frequent purchase of
mine we work 350 that's probably a diet
coke and a granola bar I was working on
a we work this summer I would get bored
I hate working in an office so literally
just to cure my boredom I would go like
buy a diet coke yeah that that's a
frequent purchase of - diet coke and we
work love a very fruitful life father
died was best uh one of my favorite bars
five only five dollars so that's
probably a coffee and a very nice tip
because I love everyone there I do drink
a lot of coffee coffee as a frequent
purchase of mine the pit eight dollars I
did a show I'm sure at the pit and had a
beer and whenever I'm there we always
get one free drink so this is eight so I
probably had a drink with my free drink
the Rookery is one of my favorite pies
at 61 I apparently got drunk that night
and decided I was allowed to spend sixty
one dollars a lot of my purchases are
going towards going out with friends and
being out at comedy shows and drinking
too much beer CVS 1661 stop one
supermarket Brooklyn 676 that's probably
a bodega sandwich
Terry New York 1301 area is a vegan
restaurant near where that we work that
I was working out so I go there for
lunch the mill New York 851 that is like
a bodega deli place near my boyfriend's
apartment evergreen Moffatt one Brooklyn
23:51 and that is a bar in my
neighborhood
drinks hulu $11.99 one night I was drunk
and I really wanted to watch how to get
away with murder I watched it all on
Netflix and then they didn't have the
season that I wanted so I got a Hulu and
since I was drunk I got flu premium for
$11.99 a month and then they didn't have
the episodes on Hulu either that I
wanted and I still haven't cancelled the
accountants oh that's my monthly Hulu
subscription Groupon $29.99 I left my
iPhone on the 6 train which is a very
fun thing to do and I bought a new
iPhone up through Groupon but I also got
insurance on it so I think the $20.99 is
the Insurance Group on 1 95 96 that is
the actual cell phone to replace the one
I left on the 6:00 train H&M and 20 to
98 subway 761 oh my way like the
sandwich shop Bushwick Post

Keamy 60 and 30 Kimmy is like this cool
almost like kiosk they have at stores
where you can make copies of keys so
this is a big day I made a copy of keys
for my boyfriend so he has keys to my
apartment
Facebook 311 I paid for a face like a
promoted Facebook post for a comedy show
that I was hosting that I wanted people
to go to so I think it just like that
algorithm puts it in people's feeds so
they see it yeah it's cheap I think I
should have like gone bigger and done
like the $20 promotion and like it
actually would have worked cuz like it
didn't really work that well for me
success and I guess this is like a
personal goal would be to be comfortable
to not have to be stressing am I gonna
be able to you know make my write and be
able to live for the next few months I
love comedy and I love writing and I
love what I do but the literal price you
pay is not having the reliability of
another job and like there will be
literal times when having just worked a
day of babysitting or cleaning that I'm
like sitting on the train and I see
someone who's like clearly going home
for the night and I'm like going on to
go dude
or like two shows and I'm like god I'm
so tired and like I like to see them and
I envy them and I'm like I wish I could
just have that like 9:00 to 5:00 and
then just like go home and go to bed but
at the end of the day I do this because
I love it
