Financial woes
I have a mini-goal. From today until Thursday, I am not allowed to spend any money. I have enough food to make do in my apartment. I'm taking Jason out to dinner for his birthday on Thursday. The restaurant that I chose is nice but upon perusing the menu (cause I'm weird like that and like to pick out my food way in advance) what I'm going to get is only $10. I want to spend money on him. I want to take him to a nice dinner and pay for it.
Herein lies the problem: with the combination of therapy sessions as $65 a pop (twice a month) and a circuit training class almost weekly at $15, that's an additional $190 that I wasn't spending before. So what gives? I already belong to a gym; circuit training is purely complimentary to my normal routine. Therapy? Is it working? Is it worth it?
I can't live paycheck to paycheck and rack up my credit card bill like this. I've made $14,000 less in my life and been okay, why am I having such a problem now? Plus, I have a doctors appointment on Thursday. Bam $30 down the drain. I think it may be wise to start taking the pill again, more money gone.
Crap.

I'd quit with the circuit training class. Suck it up and up your game in the gym. Therapy is a need for you based on what I know of you so no way would I get rid of that. Do you have an actual budget? It may be time for one if you don't. Or is it time for a second part time job like I've got?
I agree. Quit the cirucit, keep the therapy. Get a written budget, if you don't already.
When we make more, we spend more. It kills me that we used to make half of what we do now and were fine. I wonder where it all goes.
