I live like I want to, not like I should


February 4th

Hollywood Market - $26.14


I’m trying to develop better relationship with money… and food, and people and my family.

The more I think about I think I need to work on the whole concept of ‘relationship’ but for now I’ll work on the money one because money doesn’t change.  But I can start with money since it’s been pretty consistent over the course of all time and history.

I haven’t done a good grocery shopping trip in sometime and it’s starting to show.  My freezer is bare and I’m dong mini power shopping trips where I’m hungry, don’t have coupons or a plan and I spend over $20 for that night’s dinner and the lunch for the day after.  This happened last night. My $6 salad, $3 cheese and $4 mega brownie hit the spot and my $7 salad today and $4 soup for lunch today.  I will be ok until around 2 today where I feel the need to repeat the cycle.  Money fail. 
I've been using mint.com for about a year to track my spending and it's been VERY useful... to a point.  I know that I overspent on my food budget  (entertainment budget, coffee store budget, etc) a day or two afterwards.    I think I need an app that causes my phone to have a temper tantrum at check out before I go over board.

It’s 3:30 in the morning.  I woke up because I was having a dream about my last relationship (with a human).    Another fail.
