Mindy Jensen shared her personal spending journey, noting that 10 years ago her household spent $30-40k annually. Currently, her spending is averaging over $12,000 a month, significantly higher due to building a house, which led to a $200,000 spend last month alone.
“10 years ago, it really was in the $30 to $40,000 range.”
“My spending is averaging north of $12,000 a month, right? That's a lot more than I was spending when I was, you know, 20, 23.”
“I spent $200,000 last month because I'm building a house and a lot of bills came due at once. So my spending has gotten way freer.”
