Mayowa Alaketu, 25, lives in New York City and earns $102,000 a year as an IT tech. Here's what he spends in a week. 💸 (via CNBCMakeIt)
Though he grew up in a frugal household with parents who stressed the importance of saving money, Mayowa Alaketu has always preferred to spend.
"My brother is one of the most frugal people I know, but for some reason, I've always been that one black sheep when it comes to saving money," he tells CNBC Make It. "A lot of my financial knowledge tends to be centered around making and generating income as opposed to properly managing the income that I have."
"I'm not the most on track with trying to build my credit," he says. "I'm not that diligent, so I just avoid it altogether and use debit." His spending varied from day to day. One day, his $281 total included dining out and going to the movies. Another day, he spent a total of $65 and his biggest expense was buying snacks at 7-Eleven.
