Bubbling

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007 | 17 Comments

It’s the 21st! YES YES! August is nearly over. I have loads of reasons to be happy about another month passing, but right now I’m thinking about my budget. Remember we set a spending budget for this month? Well, I already maxed mine out a week ago BUT haven’t spent a penny more. I’m actually excited. We’re saving tons extra (which is good b/c the hardwood floors I want might come at a heftier price than anticipated… :F ) And I’ve decided I want to blow the majority of September’s budget on magazines. I haven’t gotten CanCam, MORE, or JJ in 2 months. AND the store keeps having CUTiE & Zipper in ALL THE TIME *stab stab.* :screech:

I just want to save as much money as possible for the house AND the wedding, you know? It’s like…. we save a ton already… but I want to save MORE & MORE & MORE. But I also want to spoil myself a bit & take vacations. Oh the complexity of adult-hood…

somehow that sounds painful, saving money that is.
but at the same time, it feels kind of good too? Although i wouldn’t want to live in poverty, living as a poor student is inevitable and i would enjoy it when there’s no food but money must be spent on books, lol (not that that has happened before), it sounds some what encouraging, thus you’d work harder for what would become of, instead of wasting it on the moment.

i guess, it’s all saving for the future moments of your life
haha
maybe i’ll buy some and scan for you

You have much more will power than me, haha~ Bu I am surprised that this check I still have $400 left over. I haven’t spent anything beside paying my bills. Whoohoo, it feel so good to see all that extra money.

You really do need to spoil yourself once in awhile.. buy those mags, ~ ^_________^

ahh i should do the same thing as you and have some kind of budget per month! i told myself after Allied Cocktail night that I wasn’t going to spend money on going to events until the Med Ball.. but er… there’s this other Cocktail night coming up after mid-semester exam… lol ~_~” i’m bad!
with the rate you’re going you’ll be saving heaps and heaps and you’ll be able to get whatever you want for you wedding and house!! DDDDDD

Haha, totally get you dear When you have the money you feel like you should save it, and then when your budgets gone all you can think of is spending

Woohoo! Good job on saving so much and disciplining yourself from spending anymore. I have a problem with spending my money sometimes. Luckily, I don’t have a credit card…

Wow, there’s so much to buy for. The house, its insurance, the wedding, the honeymoon, etc… Gah! Yeah….saving is good.

Go Jen!! You should be proud of yourself for saving money^^ Since you have to cut down on magazines, maybe you can search for magazine scans online. I know it’s not as the same as looking over a real one, but it’s better than missing out the whole issue.

Wedding? :OOOO Wow!

Saving money= good for weddings. Newly-Wed expenses are CRAZY, I heard. (Especially in Japan, but I’m assuming that’s not the case here. LOL.)

I’m personally not too happy about the passing of the month, because i have to go back to school next week, but I guess I’m excited to just get out of the school system… I can’t wait until I’m done with school in general (though I’d have to work…

Congrats on saving!

Hah good luck saving. I suck at saving. I always see something I want so I’m always spending money, which isnt a good habit to have. xD
