stop living paycheck to paycheck

I got paid today, and this month I didn’t have any little panic attacks in the week before payday – that’s the first time since November. My finances are looking a lot better now, and this is a big relief.

That said, I was a little bit extravagant this month. I bought some furniture, I ate out a couple of times, I went to the movies, I spent a lot of money on chocolates, and I even bought a novel. But I didn’t have any major financial surprises so it worked out fine and I still managed to save a bit. Hopefully all goes well this month too.

this is the last month I’ll have to feel like this.
I feel sick I’m so stressed out because I don’t know when I’ll get paid. I get paid monthly so it’s a different day each month.

Hopefully it’ll be next week and it’ll be just in time to pay my bills. But maybe it won’t…
