save 1000 dollars

I just need to seal the deal by opening an account and saving the money in there. I really cannot believe I did this, given the circumstances.

It looks like it might be a reality—soon! I will open an ING savings account, perhaps even this week! Amazing.

Ayayay. Terrible. I will manage to save 500 dollars after this month, but I should have tracked my expenses far better. What can I say. There is nothing I can do to get that money back now.

And I mean cute. Really cute.
But then I was like—is this what I want to spend my money on? And I know that what I need to do now is actually travel light, not spend money I don’t have, and become aware that I don’t need to work more to spend, but that I actually have everything I need. The universe is providing me with exactly what I need to live without stress. Spending money on unnecessaries for now will just add weight and make me unbalanced.
Besides, if I am going to invest in shoes, make them exercise-friendly shoes. That is what I most need.

As I have only about 400 dollars in my power. Which means that, more than saving, I need to stop spending.

I opened a Wachovia Way2Save account today, although I just realized it might not be as super as advertised, as discussed here. Nonetheless, its forcing me to save. And for that, I am happy.

I am also being very conscientous (sp?) about what I spend, much more than I have ever been. So that in itself is progress.

More than hoarding money, I want to make a commitment to voluntary simplicity and conserving my life energy. That is the most important thing for me.
