A Week In Her Wallet: A 48-Year-Old School Counselor’s $1,000 Week

This week, we’re continuing our special series A Week In Her Wallet, where we follow real women from our community as they track their spending for seven days — and reflect not just on what they spent, but why.

Our guest is Kathi B, a 48-year-old school counselor from outside Philadelphia. She's a mom of two teenagers, wife to another educator, and (like many of us) trying to stay on top of both everyday expenses and life’s little curveballs, especially during the summer.

In this episode, Kathi opens up about:

• The “pink tax” and why her Ulta restock rang up to more than expected
• A sweet (and spendy) day out with her 6-year-old nephew
• Navigating credit card points, family budgets, and unexpected sports expenses
• How she and her husband manage shared expenses and prepare for the future
