it all goes back to money, doesn’t it? i was running deathly low on funds last week but got a surprise check in the mail from my aunt for graduation. i got some extra money this week, and next week, i get paid officially. i’m so terrible at budgeting my money that i end up charging stuff like crazy on my credit card by the middle of the month. i need to get some budget software or something so i can take better care of my funds. i get super spend-happy as soon as i get some money, i end up struggling soon after i get it. the whole time, i’m still wanting luxury things like an external hard drive and an ipod touch when in reality, my ultimate goal should be not having either one of these but instead having my credit card paid off. i’m officially pushing my credit limit now, and that’s kind of scary. ugh!
