• Weekly Money Check-Up

    1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on utilities for the month: $84. Soon J and I will start to split the bills when I move next month, so I’m curious to see if the bills change any with this new apartment. I’m also curious to see how it will be splitting stuff

  • Happy (very late) Thanksgiving!

    Oh dear, I believe I need a new nickname: MIA! I was out for a whole week and didn’t even have a Happy Thanksgiving post. For shame! I’ve been a bit preoccupied lately and of course the first thing to go is my (not-so) daily blogging posts. I hope all of you had a fabulous

    1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on car taxes: $45. Boo! I hate paying for those little expenses that spring up at the most random times! I got my car switched to NC in September so I think that this is the price for the last few months. I should really figure out

    Life lately has been, in a word, exhausting. Work is demanding, wedding plans are overwhelming, and since I’m about to move for the second time this year, my atmosphere is in a state of limbo since this place doesn’t feel like “home” anymore. I found out the other day that we get the entire week

    Since my roommate is kicking me out getting married in January, J and I have been looking for an apartment that I will live in at the end of December and he will join me after we get married in April. (We’re traditional like that.)  We put together a mock newlywed budget to see what

  • Bridal Bootcamp: Week Three

    Yesterday marked the middle of my bridal bootcamp schedule, and I must say I’m a little disappointed with the first half. But I need to keep myself honest, so here are my results from last week: Three Week Thoughts: 1. I sound like a broken record, but work has been crazy busy for the last,

    Oops, looks like my entry got deleted! I think this is what I wrote. :) 1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on groceries. 2. Today I feel okay towards money. 3. Money can’t buy happiness. One free/inexpensive thing I did last week that made me happy was get an extra hour of sleep
