Counting Pennies

I’m back from my trip. I expected it to be expensive so I probably shouldn’t be surprised at the amount of money I spent, but still… OUCH. Two weeks in Denmark completely drained my bank account. I didn’t really have a choice about this trip and it was part business as well, so I can’t be too upset about the expenses… Besides, some really, really great things came out of it and my life will never be the same after it. I’m not exaggerating either. But when it comes to the financial side of it, well… seems like I was a little unprepared for how expensive Copenhagen is. The cheapest places to eat (think fast-food, pizza, small delis or cafés) still ended up costing more than $5 per meal. A small, basic, simple meal. Forget extras such as desserts or drinks. And don’t get me started on hotels. $180 for a Comfort Inn room? I’m just amazed.

So what now? Well, now it’s time to tally up the damage and get down to business to pay for it all.

Oh, yeah, turns out I also need to find a new apartment before the end of the month.

Happy times, right?

NOT.
