The high housing pricewith salaries that are not accompanied, it makes both young people and families great difficulty saving and getting ahead. However, if you think about a 27 -year -old girl with a salary of more than 50,000 euros per year, almost no one would think that it is part of this group. Since, distributed in 12 pays, it gives a monthly salary of more than 4,000 euros.
However, it is the case of Maddie Baker, a child’s teacher who, for a while, was an impulsive buyer.

Her addiction for purchases was such that, as she has recognized, “any day that had a difficult day in teaching, I immediately went from my work to a store,” stating that “the way I faced the difficult days was to spend money.” Specifically, Maddie earns around $ 63,000 that, to change, would be equivalent to an annual salary of approximately 54,608 euros.
He entered a “horrible cycle” where he lived up to date
As Maddie explains to the aforementioned medium, his impulsive expenses were so much out of control that he was wrapped in a “horrible cycle” in which he lived up to date to avoid borrowing with the credit card. It took up to three years to control his expenses, although he currently knows how to manage his money and even has hobbies that allow him to save.
Now, remembering his previous stage, he says he was “very stressful.” “I remember that every day I woke up and the stress for finance depressed me a lot.” Almost all his salary destined to pay his credit card since, as he always ended, he resorted to the card to make new expenses, which made him continuously indebted.
Given this situation, he tried to earn extra money in different ways, such as giving private classes to children during summer holidays, selling their clothes, or donating plasma, but none of that was enough to keep their lifestyle. How do I get out of this vicious circle? He received a tax return that allowed him to pay the bill of his credit card without having to resort to his salary.
From there, he could already have a “mattress” to pay the bill of his card without having to eat all the salary. “I had to start from scratch and be fed up with the cycle in which I was to do something about it,” he says. And he learned the lesson and took measures in this regard: in addition to controlling his expenses and impulsivity, he has found an extra source of income by making videos for Tiktok, which achieves up to 2,000 dollars more a month.
“All this happened because I had the mentality of ‘I need to save more money and spend less,” he says, taking out a teaching of the indebtedness and crisis situation that lived for several years.
