I was walking into work yesterday, and some big manager I know caught up to me and for no reason I can figure out why began to tell me about her personal finance life! Do I have DSG written all over me? LOL! She is in charge of the company budget and what not, and I found her comments about herself very interesting. I felt that I am in better shape than her even with the debt. I am making it a point to SAVE for retirement as much as I can despite the debt. She was telling me how hard it is to save and proceeded to tell me the details of why she can't save. Well, I've been trying to handle it like it is a bill I have to pay to myself. This method has worked for me well.

I am still broke, however..........I have an event today that will cost me about $50.....Gas prices are really irking me!!! I am trying to figure out how to rework the budget I had set up for the summer to be sure I can pay the bills and still get to work, but I think I may end up back on the bus.........I just hate the location of where I work and working from home even once a week is not allowed. I hope it can change. That would save gas.

The charity project I am working on is dragging.....It was fun, but now it is becoming annoying...mostly because there were some problems with the equpment we were using, and then I was just trying to help, not make decisions for the folks I am HELPING........ We'll see if I can back out of some of this. Disappointed.

I have to head out to run errands today, take advantage of some double coupon offers for coupons over a dollar!

OH, I was SO BAD yesterday, but I did it............I know I have enought makeup to do all of Fashion Week myself, but I saw a half price sale on some things I wanted to try, so I bought them.....about $25. OK, I'm OVER IT!!!!!! I did not charge them , and that's all the spending I'll do for my personal self for a while (until next paycheck?????...no, will try to be better!).......I'm human...........I am at least happy that I didn't mess up my progress on paying the debt because of this. I haven't bought clothes in a long while.

Have a great day! Littlesbigs
