@@katsuedon Thank you!! This year’s reading ‘break’ is only extra 2 days (until Nov 13th) :( but break is a break! haha hopefully it won’t rain as much so it’ll be less cold + sunny in the morning on your way to work :D
As long as the clothes are high quality, can last, and you don't mind not wearing the latest fashion. After the pandemic, clothes have gotten more expensive due to higher costs. It will be more so after additional tariffs are implemented. Curious about what you did in a prior job. It sounds like you didn't need to pay rent and other expenses then so most of the pay cheque is able to spend can feel like a lot when younger vs. mostly gone to necessities. After living expense deductions, and saving from retirement, most younger student jobs or new grad jobs little savings beyond some wants. The blueberry is not that bad compared to the other processed foods on the market. Mostly natural ingredients, extracts, or in their pure form vs. things synthesized in the lab that do not exist in nature. It is still not that healthy with the added ingredients like corn maltodextrin which acts as a preservative and is highly processed even if derived from natural ingredients. It is still real almonds vs. some questionable foods you might find in some countries where it is meant to look like and taste like almonds.
I lived in downtown before! So I was working 5 jobs at an office, tutoring, barista at starbucks, hostess at an Italian restaurant etc haha so I had enough income to pay for most things, but definitely shouldve saved more instead of spending on clothes 🤣
@@DailyMaeil How you pull off having 5 physically present jobs deserves a vlog of its own. Service type jobs are hard at least for me. Such a workhorse, strong work ethic and should understand the value of a Canadian Dollar after paying for most things on one's own. Coming to university afterward means one is more focused and knows what one wants after trying some things in life and discovering what one likes and doesn't like. It looks like 60-80 hour work week if 5 jobs. 20s you don't have as many obligations and can enjoy life more. In your 30s and onwards when one gets serious and thinks about buying a home, saving for retirement.
@@moldenm5239 yea! Back then I enjoyed meeting new people :) not so much anymore but I met good people and made connections on the way 🩷 these experiences definitely helped in many ways
@@DailyMaeil Curious about what changed for you and how the experience helped you. It seemed like long hours of front-facing service with lots of people and then after university started to study most of the days with not much social interaction. From one end of what seems like an extravert scale to the other end of an introvert scale. I followed the standard path where there was a predetermined goal that led to the next as did most of my classmates.
Have fun! I wish I had a reading break too :')

Hmm I think it's more about a shift in focus and priorities! My personality didn't change much but I guess I'm way too busy with school now 😆
