How to Buy Less Stuff - The Guide to Spending and Buying Less // ew & pt

Saving money and getting good deals is like my gateway drug. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve bought something solely because “It’s so cheap!” or “This is such a good deal!”

I have a problem. Like, a lowkey hoarding problem. I’m not someone who spends a ton of money, so those guides on Money Saving Shopping Tips are good and well, but they just haven’t been working for me lately. I have been doing some serious reflecting on how to buy less.

Mistakes Everyone Makes in College (& How to Recover) - College Mistakes to Avoid // ew & pt

But I’m starting to believe I’m seriously overthinking that.

10 Things To Do After Graduating College - Things to do after graduation // ew & pt

As a lot of you know, I’m graduating college this semester! As someone who is a huge worrier, I am already writing down all of the things I need to do when I graduate. And I’m also making dozens of spreadsheets.

I mean, this is it. I will, officially, be an adult. I can buy alcohol and I can rent an apartment but also I have to start paying even more attention to my credit score and savings. Post-grad life is going to be stressful but it’s also going to be exciting. Here’s exactly what’s on my to do list after I graduate.
