About the budget thing: Oct-Nov

Nov 8, 2006

So, I haven’t really wanted to admit this, but I will anyway. Because that’s the whole point of doing this twelve-month thing: being honest with myself about the budget situation.

I didn’t make my budget plan. Not even part of it. I only paid off the interest; the principle is right where it was a month ago.

Right now, I’m just happy I managed to pay off the normal bills. Paying off the extra? I laugh… and then I cry. It’s just so frustrating: things go really well for a couple months, and then they… don’t. At all. But that’s the point of this exercise, right? Making sure I know exactly where I stand financially.

I’m not giving up, though. I’ve given myself a year to get sorted out. The first two updates haven’t gone as well as I’d hoped, so now it’s a matter of going out and making sure the next one does. After all, no one’s going to just give me a horse and the money to keep it. If I want one, I have to find a way to make it work.

And I want a horse.

December Update: I have my eye on you. You are not going to look like this one.
