But, it is also the worst day of the month.
Firstly, it is my favourite day because it's PAY DAY!!!
But I also hate it coz it's pay day - and it only comes around month a month and is so far away!
Right now, I feel like i'm scraping the barrel when it comes to money.
I have about $300 to last me until Monday. In hindsight, I guess it's probably more than enough. I don't plan on going on a shopping spree, and I have enough food to last me.
I just never like getting down so low.
What makes it even worse is that i got my tax back too, and thats virtually gone too!!
Mind you, I blame myself - obviously. Who else would I blame?
I transferred $500 to my visa, and an extra $200 to my loan. So thats basically my tax refund gone, and I'm living off my monthly paycheck.
Plus, I also bought $250 worth of gear for when I get my bike.
I always seem to get this way around this time - I always get stressed about money.
I need to manage my money better.
When I was promoted and got a pay rise, I thought "GREAT! More money!". Which I have - but I have also reached the next tax bracket. Not cool.
So I've decided to make a budget.
Hopefully I will be able to stick to it, and pay off my visa!
It also doesn't help that I have 3 people owing me a total of about $4000. Ah, if only they all paid up at once.
That would make me a happy camper!
My bf is down from Thursday. He can pay for things. I always seem to pay when we go to the shops and buy groceries. I always seem to have food here for him (meat etc), but he rarely buys things while he's down here, and I generally supply my own food when I go to his place.
Yep. Time for the man to pay.
