How a scientist in Switzerland spends her money over the course of a week.
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?
I had a savings account for kids when I was young and was always encouraged to save my money. I have one parent who is extremely frugal and another who is more lax with money. I've always leaned more frugal but have gotten a bit more relaxed now that I finally have a real salary after a decade as a student.I started working at a camp the summer before I went to college so I could have spending money.
8:30 a.m. — I bike to work and attend an admin meeting where people bring cakes to celebrate fun events. I get a bit of work done before a meeting.Advertisement3 p.m. — I procrastinate work and book a room in a youth hostel for a trail running weekend in a really pretty part of Switzerland that I haven't visited yet. I joined a trail running club recently and it's been really fun. I'm excited to try a weekend trip with the group.5:30 p.m.
4:15 p.m. — I leave work early to catch the train into the mountains to meet my trail running group. Trains are expensive here but suuuuper nice so it's less painful. This is the half-fare cost because I get a discount through work.9:30 p.m. — The run is absolutely beautiful. We only see one other person. At some point on the downhill run, I lose my phone. I don't have my physical train card with me so I have to buy a full-price ticket . We all buy food at a kebab stand at the station .
12 p.m. — I meet up with a couple of friends for a fitness class at our gym. The class is difficult to describe but essentially we run and jump around in sync to music and then do some strength work at the end.
