Budget
I've recently made my budget for February... And I realised I'm so fucking poor!
I hate worrying about money. It's so stressful and depressing. However I feel more motivated to sell shit I have that I don't need.
Last week I returned something I bought a while ago. That usually never happens, but it felt good knowing I would get some money back for something I probably won't use a lot.
I am going to try and remember to keep an eye on my bank account a bit more often. Being more aware would most likely make it easier not to buy unnecessary shit.
Being a spontaneous person can be a lot of fun, but sometimes there are economic consequences that makes it feel like that "fun little thing that was on sale" was just not worth it.
So I guess this is what it's like to be an adult. Buying a house, taking responsibility... Better get used to it.
Just to be clear, I'm only bitching about not having enough money to do the things I'm used to. Most of the time I feel that it is so worth it becuase I love my "new" home and I can't wait for summer when we can be outside, take a swim, have a massive BBQ-party (or five), grow things in my garden and when the electric bill will be cut in half... and then those halfs get cut in half, and then again!!
I realised it's not too long ago since my economic situation was like this. In May it'll be two years ago since I graduated, and two years ago since I stopped living on a "student-income", which was half of what I earn today. It's amazing how fast someone can adapt to a certain standard or a way of living. At least when it comes to having more money to spend. Let's see how long it'll take until I'm used to having less money to spend...
