There shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
So where did my finances go so horribly wrong?
I make roughly $1900 a month.
$400 goes to medication and doctor's visits.
$300 to rent and bills
$300 to groceries
$100 to gas.
That's $1200, leaving me $700, or $175 a week.
That jibes with my savings of late, but what I think the problem here is is that I'm saving what's LEFT of my paycheck, versus a specific amount. maybe I need to preemptively save $200 and only dig into THAT when I need to.
BTW, I can't watch Malcolm in the Middle. The mother in that show is too much like my own.
