I cracked...

All was going really well last week. By Wednesday I was over my caffeine headache from the lack of my specialty teas and I hadn't spent a cent on food. However, the week was long and stressful. On Thursday I cracked and bought a tea from my favourite coffee shop. Then I had to be in at 4:00am on Friday and I cracked again. Not only did I buy another tea, I also bought a salad because I was too tired to bring in my lunch. I know... my excuses are pretty sad.

But - this is a new week. I brought a toaster in to work to make better use of the free bagels that come in each morning. I also brought in lactose-free milk to make my own tea.

I'm sick this morning and I think that will actually help me in my saving endeavors. I certainly won't be craving any foods and I'll likely head to bed as early as possible each night. My goal is to spend just twenty dollars this whole week. Most of that money will go towards the two cab rides I allow myself to work on the days I have to come in for 4am. It's a bit of a scary walk on your own at that time.

I meet my financial advisor this week so I'll post my financial plan as soon as I see it!
