Sigh. Online shopping is just too easy. Really easy. And I keep falling into that easy trap and buying stuff I don’t need. I blame project 365.
Seriously though, I was doing really well spending-wise at the beginning of the year. I knew that if I did a good job of managing my money, by the [...]

So I was going to blog about a money situation that arose, but I just got lectured by my parents AND a friend so I don’t feel l like going there.
Then I was gonna blog about my Thanksgiving stuff but I figure I’ll wait til tomorrow (aka actually November) for that.

So on the heels of my previous post on my financial woes, the whole dslr thing has been bothering me. I have been wanting one for a while, for ages (since February?), but a lot has made me put that on the back burner. Primarily because I’m broke and have had to clean out most [...]

Sigh. I feel guilty. Really guilty.
Let’s start from the beginning: January 1st. I made a resolution, if you will, regarding my finances. My resolution consisted of saving money from each paycheck, not using any money from my savings account, and to stop using my credit cards – I really want to pay them down/off.

Sigh. I woke up this morning and realized it was payday (for some reason, my bank gets the funds a day before most banks). I paid bills and put money into savings just like a good little girl… and then when I realized I actually had quite a bit of money to last me the [...]

So today I got the most exciting email from my mom… asking me: “do you want to start looking for the camera… the long awaited graduation present from me to you?” Eeek, really?? She’s not paying for all of it, maybe half of it… and the rest of the money will come from my savings/the [...]

Sigh. I mean, I guess I always knew I was a sucker but now it’s official. Why? Well, let me back up..
I signed up for the gym on Monday but today was my first day actually going. Having never been to a gym before, I didn’t know how to operate *anything* and since my membership [...]

So I’ve been slacking off on the exercise, lately. The last time I went to do my walk/jog thing was Monday, only because Wednesday I went to see Wicked and Thursday I went out with some friends for the last time. Friday and Saturday were spent moving, and I was completely exhausted for all that.
But [...]
