Adulthood, ctd.
I just sat down and wrote down a budget.
In the plus column-- all of my balance forward, plus my low estimate for next week's pay, Christmas money.
In the minus column-- Target buget for room items, phone bill, student loan installment, credit card payment, cable estimate, groceries, dining out budget, cab and bus fare, and any other forseeable charges.
The result: I'm not going to be flat broke. Okay, I'm going to be sparse for about a month or so until everything evens out, but I'm not going to be flat broke.
I am about to do my first Snoopy Dance of Adulthood. Yippee!
