You see my dilemma.
My budget exists in extreme Excel format, and I kind of love it. My dad made it and it has lots of equations and highlights and shades and comments in it. I'm not sure how it works, but it basically runs my life.
When I was working at the library last year, I never had taxes taken out of my paycheck. I actually ended up getting money back. Last month, nothing was taken out. Pretty sweet deal, yeah?
Booooo. Sad day. I think I've crossed some pay threshold into adulthood. Oh well. Now I get to deal with the pain of partially funding wars and soup kitchens and public education. I can I can be like 60% fine with that.
But since I outgrew my internal frame pack and my sleeping bag at the same time, I get to spend my already hurting paycheck on an assortment of items that include a new pack and a new sleeping bag, along with a few backpacking essentials that add up to nearly $500 dollars.
I'm really excited to get my new things, in part because I know that this is the stuff that I'll have for the next 10 or 15 years, and this is probably the stuff that will be with me on my RTW trip.
Yay! :)
