okay, so i’ve been doing really good with this lately, and i’ve saved more in the last month than i have all summer. it realized its waaay easier to save money when you can watch in build, in cash. im a waitress, so i bring home cash every day after work, and i put it in my safe. i only keep about twenty bucks on me at all times, and the rest stays together in my room. to watch that stack build… its way more satisfying than watching numbers in my bank account get bigger. its physical. i can touch it. and when i get a decent amount, i’ll go put a good chunk of it in the bank, and start the collection again.

i still have been getting things, though. some big purchases i made this summer were a new photo printer scanner and copier, a graphic tablet, and stupid stuff like clothes and shit. i’ve tried to do things like go to platos for my jeans, and buy stuff on sale, so that helps.

i have yet to part with some things too. i’m finally goin to put my stupid old guitar on ebay, along with my ex-photo printer (which is still in perfect shape, i just needed a scanner, and it was on sale, and it is epson instead of canon). i also have an N64, an XBOX, games, psp movies, and cds that i want to get rid of too. and i’m going to go through my clothes and bring a bunch of stuff to platos.
