A Week In Ottawa, ON, On An $80,000 Salary - Refinery29

7:20 a.m.  — Success! I hop out of bed at the first alarm and jump in the shower. I have a client meeting today, so I need to look presentable. I blast "Boss B*tch" by Doja Cat and dance around my bathroom while I put on mascara. I'm a big, big fan of morning dance parties. I used to have a dance party by myself pretty much every day during university. I walk to work, which saves money on transit and means I don't have to pay for a car.

10 a.m. — I received my paycheque today! I've been trying to live off of one cheque each month and put the other towards debt. I don't always succeed, but I try my best. I always pay off the balance on my credit card and put the rest toward my line of credit or purchase stocks in my TFSA. Today, I put $300 toward my credit card and $1,851 toward my debt. Stocks are at an all-time high, and I don't feel that this is sustainable. I foresee a minor correction coming, so I will wait on stock purchases until there's a sufficient drop.  

1 p.m. — I work through lunch on the other files I have glaring at me, then get a call from my assistant that the new client is here. I put on my mask, grab my laptop, and go to the conference room. The client is not great at keeping a mask over their mouth and nose, and I make a small joke about adjusting to speaking with fabric over my face. They don't get the hint. We're six feet apart, so I let it go. 

2 p.m. — I have a call with the partner to review the brief I submitted. He has a lot of ideas about what should be included and excluded. He wants something different now than he did last week, so this will take a while. I book another meeting for tomorrow to go over my second draft. 

7 p.m. — My eyes are glazing over, and I have a headache from skipping breakfast and lunch, so I wrap work for tonight. I go home and make a very lazy dinner of pan-fried potatoes with ketchup, then go back to the fridge for grapes an hour later.
