I’m going to try to put a stop to the unnecessary expenses just to make my money last longer. I think the turning point for me was when a couple of weeks ago I got an $1800 dollar paycheck on Friday and was nearly broke by Monday. Granted more than half of that went to rent and fixing the auto, but still! Anyways, I work little during the summer, so my main source of income will go to rent, but whatever money I do acquire…from spouse, small jobs, stimulus, etc… I will try to stretch out as much as possible. I need to cut back on the unnecessary spending. Things like…
1.) bottled water…I mean really…start refilling with tap!
2.) eating out…nearly every day…this is going to be real hard cuz I love Thai take out! We eat out ALOT even though we have food at home.
3.) stop renting movies…because that automatically means five dollars worth of snacks, too!
4.) going into stores that I really don’t need to like Target or World Market. Who has ever really needed ANYTHING from World Market!
This is good. Now I only wish I had money if only not to spend it!
