GUESSSSS WHATTTTTT
I haven’t been on my 43T in a minute
and GUESS WHAT
I made this goal!!!!
weeeeeeeeee
I actually have ~aroundabout 4k.

I’m moving next week and my rent will be higher, otherwise things will be the same.
I really hope to start working full-time again soon.
I really need to chase this because I know I can achieve it, it means so much to me. I def. want to move again perhaps in Feb or March, I’m going to be staying with friends who may prefer that I leave, which I wouldn’t take personally
I need to pay close attention to my budget, I am addicted to spending money, it makes me feel better sometimes
and sometimes I think I have more money and everything is fine, so regularly examining my budget is going to be important
my financial situation has nothing to do with what is in the bank and rather what is going to be due and when, ex: rent, tuition, groceries, gas, phone bills and the little expences are adding up to 100-200/month and then eating out is averaging 40-50, which isn’t bad I suppose. ITS SO HARD TO CUT BACK
haha. I’m such an adult.
I think living on my own is going to empower me, give me confidence and then I’ll take my time to find another place that isn’t with friends who didn’t seek me to live there,
i don’t know, I know they don’t mind me, but I need to be careful not to over-stay my welcome :)
also, I’m kind of exhausted from explaining that I’m not moving from my mom’s place because I hate her,
it’s more of me going out into the world because I want to and I can,
it’s an adventure, I love my mom and I want to preserve things with her, and I want to avoid having a landlord-tenant relationship with her. yea, that’s weird.
anyways. I hope I find a job!

Ok I saved $131 this week, which is reasonable I suppose.
this week I’m working about 20 hours
hopefully I can save more
11/21-11/27 I’m only working 2 hours. yikes. haha hopefully papi can bring me to woooork, on 11/21, 11/24, 11/26, 11/27 and perhaps go to dc on 11/28? hey, a girl can dream :P
talking about dreams, I’m drooling over the local options of reasonably priced basements, preferably in Lorton and Springfield. I think I need at the very very minimum 3k before I truly consider it, hey almost halfway there! hm.
December is pretty solid 20 hour weeks, which was my goal, which is what I should stick to, especially up to finals.
I have 6 weeks and 6 days to land a full-time nanny position
I’m on sittercity.com
and care.com
I need to brainstorm what else I can do. hmm.
