Cool Things To Have: Cell Phone, Budget, A Job… In Reverse Order

Today I mostly hung out with my ex and with my roommate a bit and slep for about 6 hours. Before I slept, however, Samantha (my ex) and my roommate and his girlfriend all went to Wallmart to check out stuff and just hang out for a bit. It was fun. Samantha then found a phone she loved and wanted really bad but neither of us can afford it right now. We’re still in our two year contract and can’t get an upgrade just yet. She told me she would like to have that phone or the phone her mom just got. That would be easier to do than the phone she saw in the store.

As far as another topic goes we’re both working on staying strick with our budget now. I’m recording all our receipts in ynab and following the 4 rules so that we can actually save money and really make month-to-month truly work for us. It’s a work in progress that we’re going to have to make sacrifices in order to achieve but that’s how anything worth having goes in life.

I also got good news today, maybe. I got a call from Express Staffing Company and got the voicemail. They might have a job for me. Yeah it’s probably just something temporary but it’s money and it’s  better than nothing, honestly. In this economy having anything is better than nothing. I’m proud that Samantha has held her job and stuck it out through good and bad times. That’s a good thing and it’s great that she still has a job. A lot of people just don’t have jobs right now who’ve been working at their job for years more than she has. My roommate also has his job still which is a good thing. Those two are doing great. Now it’s time for me to get something, anything, and start on my way.
