I’m really not enjoying this whole roommate thing right now. Living with your best friend is not all it’s cracked up to be… He thought it would be a great idea to get a dog without really double checking that it was okay with me. We had been mulling the idea over and talking about it, but all of a sudden he’s like, “Alright, I’ll take this one.” Not to say he’s not a sweet dog, but I just didn’t think we’d have time to care for a dog properly, and… surprise, we don’t. I feel bad that he’s home some days all by himself and my roommate doesn’t seem to care. To avoid going on a rant here I’ll just say that the moral of the story is: I don’t want a friend-roommate anymore… I want a long-time-boyfriend-roommate. :(

Since I’m a server and the majority of my income is in cash it’s always hard to figure out what money needs to be saved for bills and what I can spend. This is especially difficult when my bills aren’t due for another couple of weeks. I came up with a simple solution: I divided the total cost of any given bill by the number of shifts I work on average in a month (20), which gives me a small amount that I can save from every shift. Any money I make beyond that is spending money!
