July!

Wow, it is already July. Pardon the lack of posts. I work 50-60 hours a week. I am so tired everyday. To make matters worse I actually went to the E.R. today. I had some stomach problems that escalated and I felt like vomiting this morning. I was prescribed some antibiotics and now I feel a whole lot better.

Though I am really busy, I realize that prioritizing is SOOOO important! If I don't set goals and deadlines for myself, I will forget what is important and never get it done! This is definitely something I need to work on and continue to get better at. ING is on the backburner but I want it to be at the forefront. I need to make things happen for myself despite my natural tendencies to let things run passively.

On another note, have you heard about Mint.com? I totally love this site because it helps you budget and see where your money is going. There are cool pie charts so you can see what percentage of your money is going where. For me, 50% is going to rent :( I need to fix that! I am moving apartments at the end of August so I am definitely looking to reduce my rent by at least $100-200/month.

Finally, with summer in full swing- what are your plans? I am looking forward to sitting poolside soaking up the rays. I am tempted to take vacations because of all the great deals I see on Travelzoo but I know I have to save. Deals will always be around so I shouldn't be taking them needlessly and spending where I shouldn't. What is something free you like to do in the summer?

'Til next time, have a Happy (and safe!) 4th of July!
