Dear Diary,
Today was a good day. I was able to surprise Isabella with a new pair of sneakers for her birthday so she could wear them during her hospital shifts. The old ones were so worn out, she was starting to get blisters on her feet.
She asked me where I got the money from, because she was sure we still owed over $750 on our credit card. A few months ago, our boss told us about a new company benefit called Earned Wage something. I know it’s EWA for short. Anyway, we could sign up for accounts on a Payactiv app and start accessing our paychecks daily, instead of waiting 2 weeks like before.
I was just exploring the app and used a feature called SmartSave, a savings tool that automatically puts money
Dear Diary,
Today was a good day. I was able to surprise Isabella with a new pair of sneakers for her birthday so she could wear them during her hospital shifts. The old ones were so worn out, she was starting to get blisters on her feet.

I was just messing around with it at first but I used something called SmartSave, a part of the app, to start putting away some money every day to get her the shoes before her birthday. I forgot about it until last week. I made another one to pay off the card.
To be honest, I don’t know how it worked out but by the end of this week, I was able to get the shoes and pay off the bill before another missed payment. . She didn’t even realize that for the past few weeks, we weren’t paying any overdraft fees either. And I did it before she could see it, as a bonus gift. And she was shocked.
I don’t know what my next goal’s going to be, but I have my eyes set on a mini trip upstate for our anniversary.

towards the goal I created. Before I knew it, it had saved me enough money for the shoes. I created another goal to help save to pay off the card.
