Lent Revisited
Posted on 2007-05-18
I gave up shopping for Lent and was mighty proud that all through Lent (including Sundays) I did not buy one thing. Well, I bought groceries and other necessities (new glasses...) but I did not buy anything that I didn't need.
I think I should pretend it's Lent again. I have spent a large amount during the past month and it's starting to catch up with me. I've paid for everything using cash or check (gas is saved for my cc and I have been so good about that!) so no debt but getting close to no money. I have a large trip coming up in August and I want to have as much money as possible for that trip.
An update on how my giving them my 2 weeks notice: they offered me more money! I couldn't believe it. I went in to pick up my check and my manager offered to pay me a dollar mroe per hour. I'm grateful, but I've made up my mind. Retail was fun, but some of the customers sucked, and working in a store where I got a 50% discount on all items made it too tempting to shop! My last day is June 2nd.
