Dear Self (6 Months Ago),

If you knew what I know now, you'd be doing things a little differntly. Sure, you might not make all of those impulse purchases that now hang in my closet unused. But you'd have a lot more cash. And you'd feel a lot better about life.

See, budgeting is kind of a neat trick. Being able to say, "Thanks, but I'm eating in tonight. Gotta stick to the budget." is pretty cool. And when it's all on paper (theoretically, 'cause it's actually maintained digitally), you can't even try to justify spending more than you have or have allotted. Even if you tried, the red bar of overbudgetedness would be staring you back in the face, yelling "Ehhhhhhhh. Wrong answer!"

Needless to say, I'm doing pretty well over here. Cleaning up your messes, though, which will take far longer for me than it took you to make them. Thanks for that, really.

Peace, love, and balanced budgets.

C-Jo
