Sammy, 31, has been laid-off due to COVID-19. Right now, she's just hoping to stay financially afloat while taking care of her mental health through outdoor activities. Is there anyway, with $2,000/month, she can be saving right now? #MillennialMoney thestar.com/business/perso…
These are Sammy's monthly finances. Receiving $2,000 a month through CERB, it seems that her costs are still adding up. Currently, she's living between her downtown condo and her parent's home (where she can save on food and transportation costs.)

In #MillennialMoney, we ask our participant to record all their spendings in a week for financial coach @JasonHeathCFP to analyze. This was Sammy's first week. She's been taking up golfing, kayaking to stay mentally healthy during this time. thestar.com/business/perso…
Her goals? "I am just trying to make sure I can financially support myself during this pandemic,” she says. Because of a sudden change of income, she wants to know if there is any point to save at this exact moment. thestar.com/business/perso…
How did Sammy fare on week 2 of her spendings? What takeaways did she have from our money coach? She says she wants to manage her FOMO (fear of missing out) better.
