I just started budgetting recently. Ever since i got my job, I find that i am a lot more cautious with my money, not that i wasnt before... I work so hard for that money, and i feel bad every time I go to the cashier to pay for stuff. If I actually stick to my budget, I've calculated that each week i should be able to make an extra 100-200$ depending on how many hours I work...
The thing is, I realised that I need money for when I go overseas as well as money for melbourne. Each time that I go back to melbourne I just end up blowing money left, right and centre. I have no idea where it goes... but it does. Recently, my bank account has been hit hard due to law ball tickets, coldplay tickets, mccc tickets, and soon to be psych ball tickets. I have paid for all except psych ball. I've paid back law ball and coldplay already from work, but looking at my bank statements just makes me so depressed. I still have sufficient money, i just don't like looking at the amount that I HAD and seeing the different between that and my current total. I also hate asking my family for money...it just doesn't feel right. Also, people owe me money! I need to get it back! I don't mind lending money/paying for other people, it's just that when it takes FOREVER to get the money back, it pisses me off.
anyway, I'll keep this post short. My law assignment came out just two days ago, and ever since i have been working flat out studying fo it. On top of that, i have a really bad cold. I think I should take it easy for a bit. I had a blood nose before, and I think it's because I've been trying to push too much on to my plate in the last 5 days.
Here is a photo of me pimping at white party.

You are on your way to saving up, Justin. Attitude is your best weapon in this endeavor though. The main concern is prioritizing how much you spend on the things you want rather than what you need. It's fairly simple when you think about it, but I've seen so many who failed at this task. But since you're writing about this, it means that you acknowledge your situation. That is a good way to start if you ask me.
