It's six in the morning and I'm a bit bored. A bit happy because I got my hair colored today and it turned out great. I never thought box color would do the trick, and I am glad to get that blond streak colored in for now. I swear that was the worst thing I ever did to my hair aside from cutting it wayy to short.
Aside from that, sitting here bored, I was thinking of how much of an expensive lifestyle I live. I go out all the time, I eat out all the time and I shop all the time and I stay out til the dead of night and even later. From what I do, you would think I lived in San Francisco or New York living the high life or something.
I remember when I used to be such a cheap ass and live off of 13 bucks for a week. I mean sure I didn't work and parents provided me with food, but I went out with friends a lot and still managed to survive with no money.
And then when I first started working, I was frugal with my money. I liked shopping but I was so thrifty with my money and I knew how to shop. It was also really easy for me to tell myself "NO" when I wanted to.
But these days, what I want, I pretty much get, one way or another. I'm not spoiled, at least not by my parents, but I'm spoiled by myself.
It's funny how money does things to you.
But I have a goal this year, I need to save a lot of money because I'm moving back to the city. It has been a tough few years, money has been weird, and I need to save a lot with how much I make. I need to relearn how to be a cheap ass all over again.
Let's go!

Good plan. I'm jealous of your goal to move to the city.
