(no subject)
I'd like to tell you all about the only major thing in my life that I feel I have under control... granted, it's related to my work life and future plans, which are pretty much uncontrolled, but here it is: my finances.
RBC put out this little budget tool 6 months ago. Super easy to use and good for days when I feel out of control. Well, not really, since when I feel crazy, money isn't very reassuring.
In the last 6 months I've used:
30% of my income to pay down debt (just over actually)
20% of it to pay rent (just under, but rent got ridiculously low in Dauphin)
10% of it on restaurants
And 50% on other stuff.
I'd been worried that I was getting too cavalier with my money, but I've changed my mind. As long as I don't keep buying crap all year, I'll be fine.
Other things in my life not in control:
where to work in 6 months when I graduate
whether I want to do medicine
whether Skye loves me
whether I should just break up with Skye now instead of waiting until he gives me a good reason
what would happen to me if I did that
that I gained 10 lbs last year (fortunately after accidentally losing 5)
that I have no permanent home
that my mom is very unhappy
that I still limit myself based on what people might think of me
Anyway, I should quit this before it becomes self-indulgent instead of just honest.
