I spent some time to focus on budgeting. Remember when I was complaining about my math skills and my monetary miscalculations? I just downloaded an app that I'm really excited about. It's called Moneybook. It's a fancy looking yet surprisingly simple way to track your finances and see how you're spending your money each month.
Will I be able to get with it and ride that bucking bronco budget bull like a big bad boisterous banker? Berhaps. I mean, perhaps. The paper system is obviously not working and lugging around a huge notebook spilling over with sums is the opposite of awesome. A sleek, portable style may be just what I need to stay ahead of the game. The game of Smell My Success.
Which is also the name of a blog I compose. Let's move on.
I condensed another bill onto my bank's website. The one I plumb forgot about, thereby generating a late fee. I shan't miss that payment again any time soon. By which I mean for another three months or so. I'm quite forgetful.
I remembered to maintain a couple snowflake payments. That's something else I tend to forget about. In addition, I made a little side money from some theater gigs to put on my slightly decreasing credit card debt.
It's been awhile since I've sat down with myself to go over my financial position. The fact that I did without mentally kicking and screaming impressed me (and I am NOT easily impressed) was a cool experience. For every two steps forward I feel like I take 1.6 steps back again. After a few weeks of seemingly little progress, I can see how it nevertheless adds up.
