• Organized the final remaining prep items before interviews start! Moved from Google Keep to here, for posts in the next few days.
    • Making lists of monthly costs for awareness:
      1. $1075 Rent
      2. $450 Food
      3. $150 Car Insurance
      4. $80 Cell Phone
      5. $40 Utilities
      6. $40 Internet
      7. $20 Gas
      8. $15 Amex
      9. $5 Mobile app subscriptions (Spotify, Calm, etc)
    • Almost $2000/month for basics (no bars, no shopping, no trips). Right now, I have a few more out-of-pocket expenses that an employer would usually cover ($250 for health insurance and $40 for gym).
      • Historically, I pay much more than this (about double!) due to restaurants, Amazon, and more. I’ll certainly be a bit more observant.
    • About half of my Ally limit sales have been met and fulfilled. Transferred 5k from my investment account to BOA. As I reinvest this money later, I will do so through Robinhood instead of Ally.
    • Set my Mint account back up. I will start regularly checking this as the aggregator. Got familiar with it again. Feels good.
      • Added https://raw.githubusercontent.com/synthead/mint-adfree/master/mint-adfree.txt to the uBlock filter list so the Mint dashboard is adfree and skips all the cards I don’t wanna see.
    • Scrubbed my Chrome account and removed the majority of saved passwords (SpaceX, old sites, college accounts).
    • Watched Candyman, an old (92) horror classic I had never seen.
    • Smoked ribs. Incredible.
