I just realized that I spent about an extra $900 on unplanned things this month.

What’s funny about that is that for many years I didn’t even make $900 in a month; let alone have an EXTRA $900 that I was free to spend.

What a difference a few years and actually having a job makes.

I’m ok with that amount this month, but I sure don’t want to make it a habit! That’s a lot of money, especially to be spending on unplanned things…

Now let’s have some links:
