spend less money

into the store to buy some things.
oh man.
and i spent money on some food i totally didn’t need.
but i opened a CD account today to build up a little interest.
even though the rates suck right now.
but hey, it’s money right?

i wanted to go buy a digital scale SOOOO baddddd.
but i don’t NEED it.
i have a regular one.
i want a digital one because they are obviously easier to read.
but alas, i fought the urge and didn’t buy one.
cause i already have a scale, even if it is hard to read.
sigh…

i didn’t spend ANY money today!!!!!

spent 40 dollars on my hair today…
:[[[[

but it’s okay cause I FUCKING LOVE IT!!

i did so well not spending any money.
and then i bought as pack of cigarettes and a bag of chips.
WTF
i hardly even smoke, and i HATE chips…
i think i just subconsciously feel the NEED to spend money.
today i will spend NO money!!!

ridiculous amount of money today on drinks and whatnot.
but i went grocery shopping.
and i have meal plans set out for the next week, at least.
and my dad was nice enough to fill up my gas tank!
how nice!
that saved me about 30 bucks!!

but i plan on not spending ANY money (except bills) the next couple weeks at LEAST.
please please pleaseee

for the last few days i’ve cracked and bought a few 8 dollar meals…
BAD BAD BAD.
oh man, and i’m pretty sure i need to replace some belts in my car, and probably the brakes too.
that will take ALL of my money.
:[[

so today i did pretty well!
i went to my favorite coffee shop to use my laptop.
and obviously, the internet is for customers only.
so i bought an iced tea for 1.50.
i know that is still ridiculous, cause i could buy 100 tea bags at the store for the same price…
but usually when i go to that particular coffee shop, i spend 4 dollars on a drink and 2 dollars on a pastry.
wow, yeah.
this not spending money thing is going to significantly help my weight loss goal as well!

:]]

i am going to save my money.
NO exceptions except gas in my tank.
but the limits on that?
i am not going to be taking an unnecessary trips.
drive to school and work and home.
and the money that will go into my tank will be my tip money.

everything else goes into the bank.
no more eating out or driving 2 hours away just because i’m bored.
no more buying food for my boyfriend, WHO HAS HIS OWN JOB.
plus, he isn’t even really my boyfriend.
anyways.
so i have to pay my dad 300 dollars.
damn.
damn phone bill and damn internet bill and damn car insurance.

but i gotta crack down.
cause i am BROKE.
BROKE BROKE BROKE.

...where the hell is all my money going?
