This week I’m doing a real “week of spending” as an online teacher—day by day—so you can see where my money actually goes when I’m working from home and running my TpT/creator life. I’m tracking the basics (groceries, meal prep, coffee runs) plus the random little purchases that always sneak in, because I think it’s way more helpful to see the messy middle than a perfectly planned budget spreadsheet. I also talk through the mindset side of budgeting as an online educator: what I’m fine spending on because it supports my routines and productivity, and what I try to keep minimal because I’m building a more intentional, minimalist lifestyle. If you’re curious what an online teacher’s weekly spending looks like—especially with food, convenience costs, and “misc” expenses—this video is basically a running total with the honest commentary. And yes, I want to know: what’s the one thing you actually enjoy spending money on?
