So here's the deal: After stocking up on 1-2 months worth of groceries and paying off all of my bills, I have about $140 to my name. This week when I do plasma, I will have about $220, provided I don't spend anything.
Because I don't have any financial responsibilities for at least another month and I will be making an additional $345 before the end of the month, I am thinking about investing $90 into this job interview training that I discovered. Here's the link:

It's basically a job interview simulation that is supposed to teach you how to answer 100s of interview questions and the "interviewer" is virtual but based on a real person with real personalities that vary to teach you how to interact with many different kinds of interviewers. There is also supposed to be real people who give you feedback based on your responses. This training seems to have real scientific research behind it with an analysis done by Yale University. Additionally, the program seems to be able to help people with "special needs" such as mental health, autism, criminal background, poor work history, and others.
I'm strongly considering purchasing this training because I truly feel like I will need every advantage I can obtain going forward. I royally suck at job interviews and I am even more terrible at thinking about things to say on the fly without getting nervous or stuttering. I am not wired to deal with people and I struggle in social interactions, especially when job interviewing or interacting with women/girls that I like.
Still though, part of me has doubts. I can't help but to think that I might be overreacting since I am only applying for entry level positions both at my college, and off campus, especially since I am already doing well interacting with a couple of interviewers on campus. I also want to save money up because I want to be able to take care of myself should something go wrong. I have a chronic fear of being broke.
It seems like the most logical approach is to invest into myself here. Still though, what do you guys think?
