$4000
Well, I'm a little behind on my spending.
For now, I'm skipping over $2 and $3000...if I get myself into the whole " gotta make up the days I've missed", I'll start to dread it and then I wont do it and yea, you know the rest I'm sure.
So $4000...
That's a lot of money. Now it's seeming a little more realistic to throw the whole thing at a $6500 debt, that would be a really nice hunk out of that big honking thing. It would be a nice down payment on a newer car. I could also get a lot of new clothes AND I hate to shop so I'd spend about $25 at the thrift shop and then want to be done!
hmmmm $4000. Savings keeps coming to me and that sure is a nice feeling. Let's throw a grand in there.
I'm noticing it's not yet occurring to me to give it to charity...it's a thought however it still hangs out in the "should" department.
I'm also noticing that I lean towards very small spending. I have $3000 left and I'm used to buying small things like food, a pack of gum, a cup of coffee, etc. I also notice the all-or-nothingness of my thoughts. I tend to attribute the whole $3000 to all gum or all coffee or all groceries, etc. For 31 years my world has remained small...I'm not using this word judgmentally, just noticing the tunnel vision like qualities of my world. Due to not having much money my surroundings have remained limited. These limited surroundings have come about through choices I've made and those choice generally originate from my core and that core has definitely come from a place where worth has not been viewed as good (at least not consistently). There are some very big shifts occurring in me at this time in my life and these shifts are transforming how I feel about my self-worth which in turn is changing how I see $$ (and many other things). Maybe as these shifts continue the blinders that have lead my decisions will continue to open farther and farther, or, holy cats hold onto yer pants kids, they may actually fall off.
Okay damn it, $3000 left.
I've got a trip coming up soon with Poopsie to London. It would be lovely to have some extra extra spending money for that trip. We'd like to frolick over to Germany while we're there as well as Ireland. I'm only going for about 10 days so I don't miss too much work, with extra money I could go a little longer. My airfare is paid for with frequent flier miles so I'm good there. I'll throw myself $1500 to go towards travel, lodging, all the amenities while I'm there.
Some other travel that I'd like to do is out west to see some wonderful friends. I'd like to take about 2 weeks off so we can take a train across the states, I think that would be beautiful. Train out there, plane back and fun in between...well shit, airfare in the states would cost me a good chunk + more unpaid time off work so I'll put my other $1500 towards that.
Spending large amounts of money is a little more difficult than I thought it would be.
$4000, done.

Woo hoo for the trip West! Save it up for some scrumptious food - we could buy local produce up the block from us and have a cooking extravaganza or browse on Hawthorne (there's an easy way to lose some major dough) and then eat at any number of great spots. How 'bout renting bikes and toodling around town with us on wheels? I hear the train across country is quite nice. Westward ho!
