Time to stop living in the moment....

Seems that from now on, I need to plan out my life a whole hell of a lot better than I have been. It has become a ritual of mine (one that I'd love to disown) to stress out 115% come the close of each month. Why is this? FINANCES!

Of course, living in the moment made me pierce my ears a few more times as well as stock up on a really cute summer wardrobe (Most of which can also double as what I will wear on the cruise). Oh yeah, also bought beer. Who would have thought these things would ever be considered a luxury. Not I. But since my working life has dwindled down a lot and I only have one job under my belt, I must eliminate such expenses.

I have a whopping $26 in my account now and I have to purchase recital tickets, and a DVD by Thursday....I am praying those checks do not get cashed until Friday, when I get paid. But there there is the issue of owing rent and phone to Scott. Oh, and I missed a student loan payment this month....

I also feel 100% that Scott contributes more to this relationship than I do...financially speaking. He says, he makes more so he has no problem taking on more of the responsibility of "our" bills. He currently pays, electric, cable, buys groceries and Maggie's stuff. I contribute to phone and rent. AND hes paying off the couch....Because I feel so bad he is doing all of this, I am going to vow RIGHT NOW to be proactive at keeping the apartment clean. (I will try) Tonight I plan on doing dishes, laundry, taking out trash, loading the recycling into my car and vacuuming. Tomorrow I will do laundry and dishes, take the recycling before I go to work and tackle the organization of the dining room table a bit. I also plan to, as some point, get down on my hands and knees and clean the bathroom and kitchen floors as well as the shower.

Does anyone know of any ways to make money? I am in dire need and DO NOT want to work retail!!!
