About Me

Iโ€™m Tasha, a 20-something millennial from the sunny state of Queensland, Australia. I was a shopaholic for many years and got myself into more than $16k of consumer debt. In 2017, I embarked on my debt free journey and thought I would share it all with you along the way.

My portfolio hit $17,000 today. I know it's not a nice round number but I still find it exciting. Less than 1 year ago I had no investments at all. These investments have grown 8.75% and I'm excited to see more growth. While I'm mostly focusing on increasing my savings in order to buy a home, I have put money into my investments several times in the last year.
Last nights hello fresh meal was a chicken schnitzel with sweet potato and rainbow slaw. It was really good! I had some for lunch today too ๐Ÿด I can't believe I'm cooking multiple times a week now ๐Ÿ˜ฒ
โญCongratulationsโญ @frugalveganlife @bensbudget @justwingingitwith4 and @annicat92 ๐Ÿ…๐Ÿฅ• You've all won a free Hello Fresh box. Please DM me with your first name and email address and I'll send through details from the hello fresh system ๐Ÿ“ง Remember this MUST be your first box ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ so if that's not the case please let me know so I can redraw โญFor those wondering why the screen recording shows the number 10 initially, that's because when you google random generator the default is 1-10 so it shows a 10 to start with. I changed it to max 64 before starting my screen capture recording. I did not generate any actual numbers before doing the screencam.
NOW DRAWN AND CLOSEDโญGiveawayโญ I've got 4 free Hello Fresh boxes to giveaway to new customers so I thought I'd be fair and run a comp. โญHOW TO ENTER: โญ 1. Be following me and like this post. 2. Tag a friend in the comments. You can do this multiple times but each time must be a new tagged friend โญT&C'sโญ ๐˜Š๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ด 7:00๐˜ฑ๐˜ฎ ๐˜›๐˜ถ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ฅ๐˜ข๐˜บ 17 ๐˜š๐˜ฆ๐˜ฑ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ. ๐˜–๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ˆ๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ข๐˜ฏ ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ด ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ญ๐˜บ. ๐˜”๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ธ ๐˜ค๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ ๐˜๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ฉ. ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜จ๐˜ช๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜บ ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต ๐˜ด๐˜ฑ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ด๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฃ๐˜บ ๐˜๐˜ฏ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜จ๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ฎ.
This figure doesn't surprise me but it saddens me ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ My parents were/are some of these people, so was I until last year. It's so incredibly common! But did you know that 27% of households earning $150k-$200k and 22% of households earning $200k+ also live pay to pay ๐Ÿ˜ฒ What are we spending our money on?! ๐Ÿ’ฌ Are you or your family part of this group? What's your best tip to help break this cycle and stop living pay to pay?
New updated board for September ๐Ÿ˜Š Love adding to this every month, it's like trying to increase my high score. Note: I do have HECS so the net worth incorporates that but I don't report on the figure. As BFI says if it's being paid out of your pay don't worry about it.
