Not having to pay rent in San Diego: Priceless

A few notes about the above expenses before you judge me. I don't usually spend that much money on clothes. I still wear clothes from middle school. I buy the bulk of my clothing at Target. But, I got a new job which requires "business casual" attire and I found myself with a dirth of khakis and/or polos.

As for the overdraft fees, that is stupidity on my part. I had plenty of money but I only put about $100 in my checking account and the rest in my savings account in an effort to save money. This resulted in massive overdraft fees for eating at Coco's. Obviously, my plan to save money did not work as I had planned it to.

Gas prices being what they are, I think my Geo Prizm performed admirably at keeping my overhead low.

As for the Video Game expenses, WarioWare is amazing thank you very much and downloading Zelda: A Link to the Past and some crazy Sega games was unavoidable in my view.

Movies are expensive and I paid for a few people in addition. Smoking Aces was a good flick, Blood Diamonds was ok, and still want to see Pan's Labyrinth.

The cigarette toll makes me feel kind of guilty. I keep thinking I will quit, but then just buy more. I always told myself I would quit after college. Maybe I should  get more serious about that. I could use 50 extra bucks.

I feel that the Bars total is pretty low as I haven't been to  too many bars this month.  It would've been a much higher number had I done this a few months ago. Although I can't account for how much of the "Food" total is actually beer because my statement doesn't make that distinction. Probably a good percentage of that food total is made up of Sierra Nevada and Karl Strauss.

Mini golf was worth every penny. Mini golf is infinitely better under the influence of one or more intoxicants by the way. I'm sure you knew that.

The plane tickets to SF is a pretty good deal for round trip. Plus I get to see the new David Lynch premiere of "Inland Empire" and Kathleen. Those are strong incentives.

Anyway, even after spending a little recklessly on booze and burritos I still have managed to save a fair amount.

In conclusion, we continue to show growth in the private sector, our stock is high, and our future is promising.
