Monique's Life #5 - Atlantic City

My boyfriend and I were lucky enough to go to Atlantic City for his 21st birthday. It was so much fun. But let me warn you.. NOTHING is cheap down there. Every restaurant and bar jacks up prices because they know people will still dish out the cash to have a fun experience. This can be detrimental to your wallet as a young adult from the temptation of drinking the night away to going on a shopping spree at the outlets the next day.

Thankfully, his mom found a deal on LivingSocial.com, which included the incredible room (with a view of the water), a dinner at Bobby Flay Steak House, and a comedy show.

I've been to AC twice: this occasion and my friend's 21st celebration, and seriously guys.. use sites like Living Social or Groupon.com because my money disappeared the other time I went.

Another tip is bring your own alcohol to have before you go out because there is no drink below $8.00.

xx,

Monique

P.S. Don't let the gambling suck you down the rabbit hole! Quit while you're ahead.
