So life is catching up with me and challenging the budget already...I'm not happpy about it, but...I am going to go with it, try to work it out. I had to buy GAS yesterday, and it was over $30 to fill the tank, and I was so depressed.....and then I had to get pet food, and that cost over $20....and I'm looking at the budget numbers and saying, "Gotta plan even better next time!!!" It is an on going progress...BUT it does work in preventing me from spending too much money on junk and extras right now. The urge is there, but I am overcoming it.
I have not touched the credit card in a while, and it feels good! I have not been able to knock out much debt yet, but I am working on at least avoiding new debt. And I am current on all bills.
The new budget item is parking for work now.....I have been taking the bus, and it was working well, then the expectations at work changes such that I HAD to stay late or else I would not get to the first milestone of a project (Feels more like a kidney stone!!!)....so I had to drive in because the last bus for my stop leaves at 5:30PM...i needed to stay until 8PM. NOT GOOD!!!!!! Parking is so expensive here, and I wasted over $30 last week plus $20 gas = $50......The bus only costs $15 a week. UGH!!!!!!! It's these things that melt my snowflakes.
Well, I plod on. I keep going.
