Save more, spend less

would really really help this goal. The question is—when do I find the time? I was going to go grocery shopping tomorrow before teaching my 2PM yoga class, but now I’m teaching the 10AM class, too. I probably won’t get home until 7PM tomorrow night, but I might still be able to salvage grocery and lunch prep time. One of my issues now is that I spend a lot of my time working (working at places that don’t fill my spirit). I need to change this.

Ever since I started seeing this new boy, this goal has been going down the tubes! What is it about suddenly dating someone that you feel like you have to buy a whole new wardrobe, get pedicures every week—not to mention going out a lot more. He always offers to pay, but I like to alternate paying for dates. It can get so expensive. I really need to sit down with my finances and figure out what the heck has been going on around here.

One of the reasons I decided to stick with the roommate situation as opposed to living on my own is money. It was a hard decision for me to make, especially because I’ve wanted to live on my own for a while, but now that I’m shelling out the big $$$ for my braces, living on my own just seemed really silly. Plus, I have one of my best friends two floors below and how could I really leave that?
