A Week In New York, NY, On A $180,000 Joint Income
Was there an expectation for you to attend higher education? Did you participate in any form of higher education? If yes, how did you pay for it?
My mom was a stay-at-home mom and was very conscientious about money. My dad worked a corporate full-time job and advanced to an upper management position. We definitely had a solid middle-class upbringing — we lived in a nice house and then moved to a much larger one when I was in middle school. My parents had a beach condo that we would use/they would rent out.
12 p.m. — B. decides to work from a cafe. He orders a cappuccino and a croissant . I wrap up a meeting, make a salad for lunch and then go for a walk around the neighborhood. I have a $25 Starbucks gift card, so I treat myself to a cake pop and a tall iced coffee.5 p.m. — I wrap up work for the day — I'm totally exhausted, but I have to trek out to a band rehearsal. I take the subway and bus, swiping my pre-loaded MetroCard. Before rehearsal, I stop for dinner at a falafel place.
4:30 p.m. — My boss and I wrap up early and go for a drink. We talk for an hour about work and life. She pays for the drinks and then I walk to meet B. On the way, I find an awesome print store with vintage posters, prints, and maps. I pick out a few samurai prints for B. and some botanical prints for myself. It feels great to be out and about in the city.7 p.m. — B. texts me that he's close to the wine bar so I head over — he put on a nice blazer for the occasion and looks so handsome.
8 p.m. — Time to eat! Tonight I make a zucchini and broccoli stir fry with gochujang sauce and white rice. It's an Eric Kim recipe from theand it is so delicious. I roast the broccoli before adding it to the rest of the veggies — chef's kiss! We each have a glass of white wine and chat about our days, upcoming deadlines, and weekend ideas.! I fix myself a bowl of Ben and Jerry's ice cream, B. grabs a beer, and we settle in. Once again, I'm devastated by who they eliminate.
11:30 a.m. — B. has to work so I go for a long seven-mile run. I feel pretty good until the last mile or so but I'm proud of myself for pushing through. I stop at CVS for a bottle of electrolyte water and then take the subway back home.2 p.m. — B. is still working, so I sit on the couch with a book. I scrounge together a lunch of leftover rice, a fried egg, and some leftover cilantro yogurt sauce and snack on gummy bears.
