However, I have a plan. I was reading Shtinkykat's plan to replenish the money she spent on her birthday trip and I thought, why I could come up with something as well! I have a lot of books and cds lying around that I do not use anymore. I am going to try and sell them. Of course, I know I won't make all of the 2K back, but I will perhaps get something, however puny the amount is? I have also been diligently packing my own lunch to bring to work. Eating lunch out can easily cost me anywhere from $8 to $12. If I also buy coffee and breakfast, this amount goes north of $15. So, I have been drinking my own coffee at home, eating oatmeal for breakfast and bringing my own lunch.
Estimating that I would spend around $10 a day on eating out lunch/breakfast everyday, I would only have to pack breakfast and lunch on weekdays and eat in on the weekends for a total of 200 days! A real long time! One thing that has also helped me in not eating out a lot is that I have been running a lot. I do not necessarily want to undo all that exercise by eating out everyday! However uninteresting my lunch could be at times, I have to say I tend to eat very healthy left to my own devices. For example, this evening I had a simple dinner of sauteed tofu and veggies.
Perhaps now is also the time to start thinking about supplementing my income if at all possible? Hmm I need to look into it.
