Counting the days

I am counting the days till next payday. I went to my bank and found out that it didn't cost me nearly as much as I thought it would. So I have to be careful where I spend my money still, because I'm getting a bit less hours this week at work then last week. Instead of going into work on a few days a 10 am , I only go in at 11 am. A few hours makes a difference. But I have something to look forward to this October. The minimum wage is going from eleven dollars an hour to twelve dollars. So I will get a fifty cent raise for sure. But a dollar would be nice.

Money. It is such a huge stress in our daily lives. I see people at work spend so much money on lottery tickets, it almost makes me sick. People wasting money like that just to hope they win something. I buy tickets too, but I spend maybe five dollars when the jackpot is really big. Even if I won a couple of thousand would change my life. I don't waste all my paycheck on one lottery.

How do you stay motivated around wnating to save money? I feel like the harder I try not to spend..the more I want to stay home and do nothing cause the monute I go out...I have to look at spending money on something.

What if I chose not to spend any money today? I wish I had some support of somekind to guide me and encourage me to keep going forward. I just wonder sometimes if it's worth the effort of saving your money at all.


I keep adding meaning to money. Why do I do that? I attach meaning to money when I believe that I get value out of money for something that is significant on my life. And when I do this..it creates inner tension because I can't relax when I think about money. I live in constant fear of not having enough. So it's the fear that drives money away. Need to tap on this more.
