About money

My accounting and budgeting skills are being put to the test. Last year's transition did not really go well, so here I am, feeling like a struggling mom, is in the midst of making ends meet, ha ha! My head (not to mention my eyes) is spinning trying to reconcile the little things here and there. There will not be any extra room for contingency, and we must be as close to perfection as possible. *Here's to hoping...*

On the topic of the personal wallet, I feel guilty that I've been spending too much on the things that I need. Up until now, I really didn't need much, but for some reason, the move to a new house had me going to the home center more often than I've anticipated. Perhaps my things are in their wear and tear phase out period now. I guess that makes for good justification, he he. Looking at it from sort of 'divisional earnings' perspective, I now have a lower monthly cost of living, I'm temporarily out of the gym and my commute to badminton has been drastically reduced. So, I guess I'm fine. I just have to have a bit of a tighter grip about my personal spreadsheets. Hard earned money needs to be valued but then we work to earn a living and not the other way around. So there you go!
