Ouch

Ok, so last week I mentioned I was going to start posting (eventually on a daily basis) my spending, down to the penny. It'll reveal a lot about me and unfortunately as I transcribed all spending from MS Money to Notepad so I could copy and paste, I cringed w/each "reason" for spending.

A bit more description:
Snacks = things I bought on my break while @ job #2.
Breakfast/Lunch = eating @ the cafe @ job #1
Fast Food = anything from KFC to Krystals to BK and beyond
Restaurant = the Mexican spot I eat @ before clocking into job #2
Groceries = my attempt this week to STOP the spending @ Fast Food joints and save on gas
Savings & TD = while I go back and forth about putting every penny towards debt vs. having a nest egg, since I want to go back to school this fall, I am going to pay as I go, the Savings in this case will go towards taht while TD is the Suze Orman "If you save $100/mo for a year, I'll give you $100" book thingy.

Hrm, let's see if I can turn that Ouch into a WTF? I know how, I'll ADD UP what I spent last week, fun stuff.

$644.34

WTF indeed.
