My mom's dying wish was that I spend money on myself – so I'm doing it! Join me as I spend $1,000 per month for a year and see what I discover about women, shopping and self-worth.
The perfect is the enemy of the good. – Voltaire
The show doesn’t go on because it’s ready; it goes on because it’s 11:30. - Lorne Michaels
This month I purchased my first expensive handbag – and made my first "unboxing" or "haul" video. It's not perfect and I'm not ready, but hey, this year is all about trying new things, so here it is, reversed writing, rough cuts and all.
Finding out what money buys.
What and Why
It was my mother’s dying wish that I spend money on myself – so I'm going to do it. For the next year, using money she left me, I'm going to spend $1,000 per month on fun things – clothes, travel, who knows? – and see if it changes my life.
As I honour my mom's wish — and write about it — I hope to start a conversation about how women feel about money, spending and self-worth.
