Taking a day off

I haven’t really had a week off to relax in a long time, and being laid off doesn’t count. So I had planned this elaborate week away from home, even without a dog. In the end it seems like my plans always fall through. For the past year I’ve been pretty bad about keeping up with my finances and it’s really come to bite me in the ass. So for my vacation, I will probably catch up on games, movies and TV shows while just taking some well needed time off. I’ll probably visit the parents and then maybe make a day trip some place and take pictures. I really wanted to take more time off and enjoy new places, but upon further review, I’m not in the right place to be throwing away money like I have been for a year.

It sucks to admit it, but I know what I have to do. I was slowly getting better this year, but due to a few things I fell off that wagon. You see, when I feel down I start to buy things to make me happy. Yes, hooray consumerism. Boo, bad financial planning. I’ve really got to buckle down and get things paid off and save up. I really suck at saving money and I need to get back on doing so and get everything in order, we’ll see where I end up.
