I haven't been very good with my budget so far. Day two and blown quite a bit of it. I actually had about $135 cash on me, so I'm just going with the amount I have, instead of sticking to the $100.
Day 1 Free Thing I Did Today:
Listened to jazz outside at a free event
Went to the pool at Luv's complex
Item(s) I passed up buying:
A little, lightweight coin purse - basically exactly what I've been looking for for a few months now
Cash Spending
$27.88 Cash - bathing suit that was desperately needed and had been discussed many times as being needed for Luv's place... I guess I could have brought one of the two outfits I have at home for his place but oh well. And flip flops were 2 for $5 so I tacked that on to this as well.
Eating out with friends spending
~$15 checking account - eat out, fast food, with friends
Rent
Day 2 Free Things I Did/Acquired Today:
Motorcycle ride with friends
Changed the position of my motorcycle handlebars myself. This proceeded to break my speedometer and my bike's check engine light came on, so now I'm without a bike (it's at the shop).
I acquired a free trickle charger from Tom. My bike comes with a built in plug for one and he had the charger but no longer had the bike with the plug anymore - worked out perfectly!
Item(s) I passed up buying:
Clothes at Lucy were a temptation and I may go back in July;
Future purchase I committed to is a group on for a painting class with my friend. I don't know how to handle this one, do I buy it now and save money, ask her to buy it for me and I give her cash to save money, or I just wait till July and pay full price.
Cash Spending
$8 Cash - Kara's Cupcakes - overindulge, I only needed one of those 4 mini cupcakes. Felt quite guilty about this and this is why I say I've blown my cash budget.
$6 Cash - lunch with friends - bummed I had to use my cash on this one, but we split the check.
Left over cash after Day 2: $96.81.
New handlebar position After dropping my bike at the shop because the spedo stopped working and the engine light came on - I rode two up with Tom to the lunch destination and then he dropped me at home, sans bike.
