Spending Overboard!!

I went over budget with my holiday spendings...I was pretty good at keeping track of my spending until about a month or two ago. Today, as I sat staring at the computer screen ....at my credit card balance, I realized how easily the eating out costs added up fast along with the holiday spending. I really need to bring food from home more often. I've been eating out everyday since I started this new job.

Thankfully, most of the balance will need to be paid next month and I'm hoping I can get some extra cash next month either from cash receivables or extra income. Either way, I won't be able to hit my savings goal for next month.

I definitely need to stop smoking....that's definitely been a drain...financially and in terms of health. It's been three days since I've touched a cigarrette. *sigh* :)

    The Eye opener should come when you see the statistics of Tobacco related death. Might as well have rat poison in wine.
