For the past few months I've been on the dole - accepting cash donations from myself. My savings has been hemorrhaging the green stuff like a stuck hemophiliac pig. Continually doing this caused me significant mental duress. But, I'll have you know there was a time in my life where I made more money than I spent. It was a dark time for me emotionally but was much better for me fiscally. For quite a few months, after graduating from UCSC, I lived with my parents, taught high school full time, and did not have a girlfriend.I believe that this is the month where my accounts will climb out of the red and return to the black. I completed 4 consulting projects for Maxon, and finished out 1.5 months with VetPrep. In fact, I suspect that I'll even have some cash left over to put into long term savings. Woohoo!
Now the trick of this is not to think of the checks I'll be depositing as money I can spend this month; it really isn't. It's money to be spent next month after I've settled up on rent, etc. But another month living off beans won't be so terrible if my net worth increases - unless you're in the unfortunate position of sleeping next to me.
