It comes, it goes. I’m am a superfluous (thank you, spell checker!) expense. When I think of how much money I’ve blown on ridiculous things, my mind boggles. Oh well, much better. I should pick a target. I’m up to about 4K, after expenses.

Good luck!

I use to have a completely different mentality about saving money before I got out of high school.

But between signing student loans for an education—I didn’t work hard enough to get scholarships, and managing real life expenditures for the first time… I have fell straight on my face on handling these potential lessons.

I think I’m going to think up some simple habits to trick myself into doing.. so I can reward myself for a trip to York, an idea i’m just not copycating. The carrot in front of the face is a good psychy for this kind of problem I think.

I use to be so discipline, but the many expectations and desires that come along with college can be quite overwhelming.

Things I recommend to all and hopefully I’ll follow myself:

Re-renting the movie: Into the Wild

sends a strong message about thinking about how we let society bend us backwards.

Next Advice: I want to find a book that supports a Philosophy riding against the norm to buy into materialistic norms. If you have any advice fill me in. Ty.

Btw, the book I found is based on the concept of Alfuenza.

here’s link.. should be able to ship a used one for not more than 12 dollars.
