Spending hasn't been too bad in general, but things are starting to get a little tighter as I feel the pressure of still being unemployed. I managed to mail out 50 resumes over the past two weeks and so far have only heard from two firms to say they are not hiring right now. I am going to continue to push and send out even more as the weeks go on and still enjoy my classes without worry. Bernard and I are still maintaining two households even though I have spent the last two months here at his place. The amount we both would save by condensing would be ridiculous, but I will continue to keep my place until we are engaged. That's the deal that we've made for now although I will admit that as the money gets tighter it is frustrating to think that we could both save so much each per month by splitting all of our bills. I am trying to now look at this time of being unemployed as a way to get rejuvenated, focus on myself, and get as healthy and fit as I want with minimum obstacles. I watched two amazing documentaries this weekend so I will soon be sharing what I learned. Tomorrow I will be blogging about green drinks and juicing so stay tuned.
Happy Spending Freeze!
