I don’t really do that whole “balanced life” thing, where I go out and be social on a regular basis, unless once a quarter counts. Still, a girl’s gotta make some kind of plans no matter how lame or else she risks festering on her couch trying to set a new personal best on how long she can get away without leaving her toasty apartment (current record: 70 hours).
SPENDING
$140 (possibly + tip): Sunday’s visit with the Rolfer
$20-25: Total spent on my half of the dinner ingredients and other donations to the teen shelter.
$10: CVSing…would be closer to $0 except I sent $10 of my ECBs to my mother to do last week’s trip for me, but the coupons and ECB didn’t get to her before her departure for Colorado. Dratt. At least I got a $5-off-$30 email, and can hit up a decent CVS for the cost of just one extra subway ride if I’m not too nauseous after the Rolfing appointment.
EARNING
– No massage appointments booked yet, but that’s pretty normal. I’ve had a good week so far.
– Posting on Craigslist to sublet my apartment over President’s weekend @ $130/night.
MANAGING
– Make bank deposit
– Pay revolting rent
– Transfer final $1K of 2008’s Roth IRA allowance
– Mail donation to Thai Freedom House

You’re absolutely amazing with the couponing. And excellent job in maxing out your Roth and having enough left over to donate to charity. Wish I could say the same for myself.
Rent sucks, but is necessary. I’d rather pay rent than be stuck in the cold 😛
