Aug. 3rd, 2006 04:40 pmPreliminary budget for the first paycheck. I estimated my cash low, and my payouts high.
$1000 starting cash:
$525 - RENT
$150 - RADIO (optional)
$100 - CLOTHES
$40 - SHOES
$80 - GAS
$105 spending money.
I'd like to get a cell phone as my primary phone, particularly a Sidekick 3 (I have some friends who are sold on it), but that's $300. I'd also like to get glasses, but for that I'd need an exam and new frames which'll be a prtty penny. I may wait until my third paycheck (a non rent paycheck) to get those. Hope these'll hold out till then.
However, if my paycheck is bigger than I estimated (and it prolly will be) I'll skip the radio and go for the glasses, or the phone, whichever I can afford. I can even step back on gas, too, if I need to seeing as I'll be biking into work.
Two weeks to my first paycheck! :)
