The Bad Money Nun

I feel defeated. How many weeks has it been since I dedicated my life to saving? Right, two. I feel like a money nun... or I guess I should say a BAD money nun.  I'm supposed to be abstaining from spending money-- or at least sticking to my $100 a week budget and I just can't seem to do it. I was doing ok until Saturday. I was $0.68 over my budget for the week, but then I stopped for coffee and then I decided to drive 260 miles for funsies. I obviously make BAD decisions when I drink caffeine, or heck anything for that matter.

Now where am I? Right back where I started 24 hours ago, with the added bonus of being $60.81 over my budget for the week (refueling)... and those brain scan people still haven't called me back. So what do you think? Should I try to cut next weeks budget to $39.19 to make up for this weeks craziness? I mean in theory it shouldn't be that hard to keep myself from driving out of Santa Barbara every week, right? Aside from the June gloom and bogus rent prices why would anyone ever want to leave?

Not having money sucks. When you have money you think of it as a means to have fun. But when you don't have money, you realize that not only can you not have fun-- you can't have NOT fun, either. You can't have anything!  Ok, so for instance--- sometimes when I get off work I just want to be a bum, cozy up in my pajamas and watch a movie. I used to browse new releases or genius picks on itunes... now?! Now I am forced to peruse the FREE movies on hulu that I am sure almost all definitely suck and will turn your brain to mush.

Also, my boyfriend now thinks that I am weird for sharing my financial situation with the world. Oh well, if he didn't know by now its his own fault.

Mrrrrr. Jildo.
