Man, life is expensive! What a crazy week it's been...I'm pooped.
School just started. By the end of this month I probably will have spent more than in the past entire YEAR! For instance:
Bought a car. $$$$
Got the car insured. $$/monthTitle and Registration $$$A few light bulbs to be replaced $$Gas $$ (lookin' like one tank will last me about a week and a couple days.Safety and Emissions $$Safety failed which means I need new tires $$$
Started school.
A few new clothes (of course!) $$$Tuition and fees. $$$$Books. $$$School supplies (like a calculator for my stats class, etc) $$Parking in the visitor's parking because I don't have my permit yet because I needed to do my safety and emissions to get my plates, which I still won't have until I get new tires.)Parking permit {I'm thinking of getting} $$$
Yeah. I think that covers most of what I've spent this week. Ouch. And that's probably not too bad considering I live with my parents and they provide nearly all my other living expenses such as home, food, etc) Yowza. How do couples survive?? How do families survive?? It's just nuts. Guess it just gives me that much more motivation to succeed in school so I can graduate and get a better job, right?
Goodbye social life for the next 4 months. Hello new boyfriend named math book.

Tithing!! That's the only explanation. Four of us living on one measly income? The numbers just don't add up. Every month, I do the budget and and think, "Oh man, I don't think we're going to make it this time!", but we do, we always do.
ReplyDeleteHa ha... I remember those crummy days where your bank account almost teeters on zero right after tuition hits! Now it is my husbands tuition that hits and our bank account teeters... at least it used to be for MY benefit!
