I've been working for about 2 1/2 months now, making the same amount of money I was making when I left Tucson. I'm not working quite as many hours, but it adds up to about the same amount of pay.

I had the rent, cable bill, cell phone bill and food to pay for. I didn't have a lot of extra money, but I had enough to indulge in chocolate and go to the movies every so often.

Here, I pay my cell phone bill {which is actually about $40 less than it was in Tucson} and I buy some of the food I eat. Other than that, I don't have to pay for anything. How is it, that I'm more broke now than I was when I was living on my own? I'm not sure how it works, but it's happening.

I'm moving in July and I need the save up money for that. I'm not even thinking about saving up money for the tattoos that I want or the piercing that I want. That's not top priority right now. There are a few extra things I want to buy {such as every-so-often movie tickets}, but other than that the money I get will be put away.

I still have no idea how I'm more broke now than when I was having to spend money each month. Oh well. Hopefully in the next couple months I won't be as broke.

Hmmm...the only thing I can think of to do is write down everything: how much you earn, spend and what your spending money on. Maybe that'll tell you.

....$40 less on the phone bill is pretty nice, I don't know how you're managing to spend that extra money PLUS more lol. Take Southern's advice and see where your money really goes.

Hmm.. maybe you spent the extra somewhere while you're out with your family maybe?
