As a babysitter, I earn around $40 a week, and budgeting this income is crucial to meet my needs. Ten percent of my weekly income, or $4, is spent on tithes, reflecting a personal commitment to giving back. Though I enjoy my job, my limited income requires me to carefully prioritize how I allocate the remaining funds. While I am a big fan of 7 Brew, a favorite indulgence of mine, I must acknowledge that it is a luxury rather than a necessity. My other expenses, like toiletries, clothing, and tithes, take precedence as they are essential to my daily life and well-being. These basic needs demand consistent attention, leaving less room in my budget for personal treats. Given my financial situation, it becomes evident that sacrificing 7 Brew would be a wise choice. By redirecting those funds toward more critical expenses, I can better manage my money and avoid financial strain. Enjoying small luxuries like 7 Brew is a pleasure, but when money is tight, it’s important to recognize the difference between needs and wants. In this case, while 7 Brew brings joy, it’s something I can live without in favor of fulfilling more pressing obligations. In conclusion, budgeting on a limited income involves making difficult choices, and while 7 Brew is enjoyable, it’s a luxury that I can afford to give up to prioritize more necessary expenses.
