Quick and Dirty

So I realized today that I just don't know where I spend all my money. I thought I had been doing well with not shopping but a quick check of my finances tells me otherwise. Ack. I started a financial log, of the tips I get and the money I spend. Hopefully seeing what I spend will break that habit for me. And I'll be able to better estimate the kind of budget I need, and what I can afford for health insurance. And perhaps car insurance.

The real world is downright financially terrifying. I'll have to start thinking about what I would be willing/able to do for a second job, especially when I'm not in school (starting this summer, for those keeping track). Or a better paying first job (probably not...my first job is pretty well paying for the hours I work!).

This will end the pity me post.
