I rebudgeted my shit. I'm way broke this week. But as far as when I get my next paycheck, I'm starting over and going gung ho on the new budget.
If everything is legit, I will have $250 a month to go to savings, that's with my debts budgeted in. I'm pretty okay with that considering I'm not even counting my PT job yet because I haven't gotten a pay check yet. So it will end up being more like $500 a month. Yay.

I actually had a decent week! At least for frivolous spending. I only spent about $20 or so, BF and I went for coffee and I only ate out once. This is a huge improvement for me!! I usually spend closer to $100 most weeks.
But...I decided to send an extra chunk of money to my student loan, so while it was a good week, I still feel like I have too much cash going out. However, I made a plan back in July to really get busy and get my student loans paid off and I'm still on track to have them paid off in about 21 months (or less depending on bonuses)!

I am under budget again! I started a mint.com account and I'm having really good success watching my pennies this way. Plus I was expecting a pathetic pay check bc I was out of work for a week due to hurricane issac. I ended up getting a crappy pay check which makes the next two weeks doable instead of damn near impossible.
