yay saving money
angie needs to budget her money, she's now in the red --*
allowances untill after Metrocon T-T =
1 DVD/movie @10$
1 Book
1 Manga/comic
1 pin
a month. if she doesn't buy anything else she can either pool or move the funds from one thing into the other. this means if I don't buy a manga I can get a 20$ TV series or go see a movie in theaters. these are her new rules (which helped her get her money straight last time)
whenever I say i'm "not allowed" to buy stuff... I end up on amazon with over 50$ in my cart ---| and 30$ worth of pins. *sigh* so the best way for me to stick to this stuff is by saying "I'm Allowed" instead of "not". Positives work more than negatives. If I say don't think about the bear your going to think about the bear. so now I won't think about what I can't get but what I can -^^- and hopefully like last time I won't even buy my allowance. last time I maybe ended up buying either a manga or a movie a month. I saved up so much in that few months.<3
why:
1) she's in the red (not really "red" but I have alot less than is acceptable to me)
2) road trip to Arkansas/Texas in Feb
3) Costume being made for Metrocon (<3!!!!!)
4) Birthday Presents for the lot between April-November that I have (is EVERYONE born in Aug!?)
5) Hotel, entrance, food, and ect. for Metrocon
6) trip to italy with mother and stepfather next year to visit relatives. (I've been trying for a year. looks like I'll need a separte account to get this one done. 1grand for a plane ticket alone)
and, well that's my plan -^^-
