More Spending Update

I paid $88 on my Cingular bill. For whatever reason, perhaps bad  habit of being broke, I carry a past due balance on my cell phone bill. I used to carry this balance because I was always broke. Lately I have been carrying it because I am lazy and “forget” to pay my bill. I also just don’t like parting from my money.  Since I theoreticaly have money to pay these bills off, I have paid that one off. Great.

I canceled this service I used to use for keeping track of my weight loss. LOL. I don’t know why I joined, maybe it was free, but I never log in and use the service yet they charge me roughly 25 bucks a month so I can chart my weight loss and get some ole recipes. Canceled. Plus I can use Dr. Ian’s site for free. And he is cuter.

I have a $120  parking ticket to pay from my school. Plus the $70 ticket to pay from the city. My car gets me in THE MOST trouble. I paid $1100 this year in parking/moving violations alone.

Speaking of The Ride, I have been exploring public transportation options. In LA, it’s not an option unless you live in the boondocks AND your job is near a subway stop. Otherwise, it’s useless. It would take me 1 hr 20 minutes to get to work, when I could drive for 40-50 minutes. I am annoyed. This why the city has smog, it doesn’t pay to go on the bus or subway unless you are poor and cannot afford to buy a car.  I have reached my 30K mark on the mileage, and must fork over $250 for my service checkin. Pooh.

I was bad today and spent 10 bucks on lunch, when I have plenty of food at home to bring and eat. Tomorrow I will do better.

I may not be able to go on a super budget binge until mid-October or November.
