Well, I was going to do laundry tonight but as it turns out I have $5 in my checking account till I get paid at the end of the week. I have some cash in hand but I'd rather save that for food this week. I'm trying to stop using my credit cards so I can actually make a dent in the bill when I pay them every month.

You know what sucks? My dad is exactly right, I don't know how to budget my money. No wait... actually, he's not entirely correct in that assumption. I do know how to budget my money, I just don't do it. I'm very bad at sticking with the budget and that's the problem. I have money allocated to different expenses in a spreadsheet on my computer. I'm quite proud of it although I haven't shown it to anyone. I set it up with fixed expenses like rent and student loan payments then set up several scenarios with different amounts for variable expenses. It's colorful. It's pretty cool, even though it's function is totally lost on me.

Anyway...I'm going to have put together some interesting wardrobe arrangements for the rest of the week and I'll also be eating lots of ramen.
