after i bought all those records, i checked my bank account online.

over the past few months, i have racked up a little credit card debt (under $2000). anyway, it’s 60% paid off. i made a payment last week for about $500 to put a dent in it. after a few days i noticed it didn’t go through, so i thought i did it wrong. so i did it again.

well turns out both times worked just fine. (whoops!)

now i have only $40 left on my credit card. (yay paying off credit debt!)

but hardly anything is left in my savings which is really my only safety net. (boo!)

so i have accomplished one goal, but a lot faster and a lot scarier than i had intended. now i need to start building my savings back up PRONTO.

new rule: stop spending so much goddamn money.

the things i have going in my favor:

- no more weddings
- no planned extensive traveling
- there’s a few paychecks left between me and christmas

so if i ask you to go out and do something moderately expensive, try and stop me, okay?
