Y Hallo Thar, Chequebook

Heh. On Wednesday at Scrabble, my friends and I got to discussing personal financial matters, which was a good reminder for me that I had been putting off updating my finances for a few months (since the beginning of the new year, yikes!). Ignoring one's finances is a silly thing to do, because the fact that one has earned some money and spent some money doesn't change in the face of denial. Hopefully I'll get back on track with my diligent note-keeping, as it turns that potential worry into much less of a concern, and I'm a bit annoyed that although my long-term savings are adding up, my savings for big-ticket items like eye surgery aren't gaining much momentum. So, to myself: scrimp! scrimp! scrimp! save! save! save!

Besides, being thrifty is fun and creative.

Oh, that reminds me that I still need to make my father's birthday present. Ahem.
