Jan. 12th, 2019 12:14 pmIt's a really bad habit. Don't do it, kids.
I've been trying to redecorate the house and our rooms to make it feel more like a home, but it's taking a pretty big on my finances. Even back when I was making a little more than I am today, it was still a little rough. Now that I have more expenses, it's getting even harder. If it weren't for the gift money from my Korean relatives (and my mom's friend), I'd be struggling pretty hard right now. Not that we got a ton of money or anything, but even just a few thousand helps a lot in the long run. We're really trying to get that money to stretch though, since I'm looking to move up at my new job.
Speaking of which, my boss offered me full-time! I'm joining another girl in the ranks haha. At least now I'll be able to accrue PTO and sign up for medical benefits now. I feel a little bad since I'm planning on transferring out of the food & beverage department, but eh, it's the nature of this business. It happens pretty often from what I can tell. At least training for a coffee shop is super easy.
Anyway, I bought a new mechanical keyboard. It wasn't expensive and it shows, but I just really needed something that wasn't flat keys. I have really long pointy acrylic nails so typing is a real bitch on them. The new keyboard helps a lot.
So aside from groceries and general bills, I'm going to try to reduce my frivolous spending. SIGH...
