stop living from paycheck to paycheck

• January 31, 2010
• We just bought a new car plus with Christmas coming up, sticking to a budget might be a little difficult right now. I’m hoping by the end of January we’ll have it down pretty good though considering our wedding is soon!

I can’t say there’s improvement on this one…yet. I’ve made a budget for the next year of my life while I’m out of school but I need to wait and see if I actually stick to it!

I’ve been doing this for entirely too long!! I think THIS is MY time!~

I have packed in my job and I leave for Canada in 2 months so no more paycheck!

I have picked up a freelancing job from my friend Sue and it has helped me to make ends meet. What a relief!!!

... but I want to make it happen. Maybe once I’m finished with college, get a full-time job, and teach my boyfriend how to save.

I seem to be doing this pretty consistently, although every once in a while I feel like I’m cutting it close. But I’m doing well enough to say that I’ve accomplished this! :)

I used to be so good at this!
Then I started earning more…

Money is so stupid. So why do I love it so? And why can’t I keep hold of what I love?

Sheesh.

I have been trying to do this one for some time now! Still here I am with a bigger paycheck and still no denero in my pocket when Friday rolls around again? How is this possible?

Apparently, that old saying is true. The more ya make the more ya spend! I just need to watch my spending!

I am done living out of my means. So, I will pay off my credit cards and stop buying useless things!
