made a list of all my expenses i will have to cover in the coming month. this includes everything i know i will be spending money on, like paying off my new computer, competing in florida for two back-two-back weekends, and other necessary costs. all other continuous yet “minor” expenses (gas, miscellaneous food and drinks) are left off the list so that i can just focus on the big boys. my aim is to be able to cover all the big boys a month in advance using just the money i make from waitressing. i’m trying not to dip my hands into the bank here, which i think is a pretty attainable goal if i continue to meet my weekly tip average. and, if i can cover the big expenses, my reasoning follows that i can afford to indulge in some of the smaller expenses, like six-packs of blue moon and taking the occasional lap inside anthropologie. gee, being fiscally responsible is fun.
what can i say, i love to earmark! i’m embarrassed to admit it rivals the pleasure i get from grocery shopping. (am i still dateable at this point?)
