This is how an unemployed person spends her money in NYC.
Was there an expectation for you to attend higher education? Did you participate in any form of higher education? If yes, how did you pay for it?
My parents really emphasized the narrative that they came to the US as refugees with nothing and worked their way up. They believed in saving money and shunning American consumerism, to the point where it seemed like they were play-acting as poor even though they had achieved financial success. This behavior may have come from a fear of losing everything again and how easy it is to fall through the cracks in this country.
11 a.m. — H. and I bike over to our friend's apartment to pick up some acoustic panels and video games he's giving away. I take the subway home and lie down for a bit. There are few things in life I love more than being horizontal. Then I listen to some dance music to hype myself up for a poker tournament today.1:30 p.m. — I take the subway to the tournament. I make sure to post an Instagram selfie in my $600 sunglasses.2 p.m. — I give the host $30 to cover drinks and the buy-in.
2 p.m. — I put on a pair of rain boots and walk over to get a free ice cream bar. I've never had real Dippin' Dots before so I also head to their shop. Tragically, they ran out of free ice cream. I sit down in a Taco Bell and eat my ice cream bar while gazing at the rain outside. On my walk home, I grab a free electrolyte drink from another brand activation. I put it in the fridge for a hot day.
11 a.m. — I walk over to check out a bare-bones coworking space but it's closed for some reason. I go back home, annoyed at whoever is running the space. I don't really do work at coworking spaces. I am just looking for a place to meet new people, hang out with friends during the day and play on my laptop outside my home.
2 p.m. — I catch up on social media and listen to baroque music. I love listening to music that transports me to a different time and place. I make plans with a group to go to a Brooklyn loft party and an underground rave.6 p.m. — I get tired from scrolling through social media and I take a nap. I wonder how much screens are damaging my eyes.
