I know when I stop checking my bank account its a bad sign... I will let myself go about a week without checking it when I know I've been bad. And, yes, I have been bad. I haven't made any too outrageous purchases, but I have driven down to LA the last two weeks in a row to see friends and then there was the $130 I dropped to sign up for a charity golf tournament. But, I figure money spent on charity is good karma and bound to come full circle, and if not at least I'm helping someone else out.
So, here's the damage:
Wait...Good News first:
1. I have upped my 401K contribution to 5% of my salary (so in 80 years, if I'm not dead, I can retire)
2. My savings is up to $1,300 (I know this is nothing-- but considering I started at $750ish back in June I'm happy)
3. I've been working a lot of overtime in the last week (so the next paycheck will be awesome)
4. My birthday is in 3 weeks... birthday money, woo!!!
Bad News:
1. My coffee addiction is back in full force, possibly even worse than before (sometimes I make TWO trips to Coffee Bean in one day. BAD. SO BAD.)
2. I have recently made some unnecessary purchases: i.e. pastels and canvases (i've always wanted to pretend to be an artist-- i bought them a week ago and still haven't touched them--I don't want to fuck them up... which i obviously will, because I don't have an artistic eye like my mom and sister)
3. I have no idea how much I owe on my credit card. Ok thats a lie. When I lost it I think the balance was around $900, but then when I canceled it they removed it from my online banking. How am I supposed to pay it off, if I can't freaking see it?! All I have to say is they better not charge me interest if the payment isn't on time, because I don't know when or what the payment should be!!!! ARGGHGHGHG. So frustrated right now... mostly because I know my credit card payment is usually due on the 20th of the month... which is tomorrow. Oh happy day.
Oh, Happy Day.
And the war with money continues...
xoxo Jildo.
