| Money sucks |
[Dec. 15th, 2009|11:06 pm] |
So I mailed my credit card payment on the 26th of November, and they just deposited it now, 1 day after the due date... If I get a fee, I am going to throw a conniption.
My "savings" has officially leveled above that one number I was hoping for since the Matt/vacation/spending spree fiasco. So I feel good headed into X-mas, save for the part where my bartenders (yes I have more than one) are super happy with me. Oops, mega tipping problem. So this CC bill should be hateful, but next year is totally open! Also I already made January's mortgage payment.
So the question then becomes this. Is money better left in an account as a number, or spent to capture general excitement? I am going to have to find a balance. Eventually i will have to buy a new car... knock on wood that will not be any time soon!
Since I am getting a roommate, I will plug his $500 a month into my actual savings for the down payment on the new car. That'll give me $10K at the end of next year with what's moping around there now. Perhaps that will be next year's gift to myself. I am seriously considering a VW. I think I have decided that a fancy car... lexus, audi, mercedes isn't worth it. I just don't care that much about my car as is.
Besides all that, above preplanned expectations, my niece's "college" fund is $76 ahead of schedule. (she just turn one in October) I will be really excited in a year or two when I get to start cycling the money for bigger interest rates!
Now I just need a boy that will lust after me like what Katie has and I will be set ;) I'd even take a twin if he's got one...
Anywhodiddle, hope all is well for everyone out there =) |
