Counting Pennies

Over the past four weeks, I’ve spent a total of $2760 to move. That includes covering my last two weeks in the old place plus new apartment and real estate fee. That’s huge! However, it’s a good indication of how much money I’m able to pull off out of seemingly nowhere if I really have to. I mean, if you ask me, I couldn’t tell you how I made so much in just 4 weeks –And yes, that’s all cash and that’s all on top of my regular expenses. On one hand, it’s really encouraging (I may be able to save this much a month!); on the other hand, it’s depressing (have I earned this much before and if yes, what happened to the money?!). In any case, my goal for December is to earn at least $3000 freelancing. I have some big things to cover, all related to me moving out of the country next February, and $3000 would get me on my way.

Still, I’m amazed at what I was able to pull off just because I had to.

Makes you wonder.

Aside from that, I wanted to report that I’ve been doing extremely well in the spending department. It’s been at least a few weeks since I’ve spent money on something I don’t need. That was my main goal for November: no frivolous expenses. Ok, I did spend a couple of dollars here and there. For example, I bought myself an ice cream the other day for the grand total of 70 cents (I had a coupon), but I’m pretty sure that’s ok.
