Budget Blues...

I hate money! I hate everything associated with money! Ok scratch that.. but I hate how money controls so much! I am particularly upset about this subject since being home at Christmas. Had to have a little bit of a sit-down-convo with the parentals in regards to my shameful financial state. The main problem being that they co-signed my credit line loan and hence are technically allowed a bit of a say... and the problem is that while one of my main reasons I came here was because I thought I could save a lot of money, pay off some debt while gaining job experience and traveling around... I haven't exactly saved money and paid off debt. In fact I think... my debt might be a little bit bigger... oops!

So Jessica is on a budget! Yes for real! I hate that word!
Granted I budgeted in spa/salon treatment, the occasional nice dinner out and a few other things that make life a little sweeter.. but in terms of just spending cause I feel like it... those days are no more!

Now-- problem being I might have booked a ticket to Bali for Chinese New Year.. a non-refundable ticket... I mean to cancel it would be a waste of money.. so in keeping with the budget I think I'd better go...
