Broke.

I’ve been making some questionable financial decisions lately.  (See “But that bathing suit is Marc Jacobs, and it actually looks super cute on me!  Originally $150 and up, found at Marshall’s for $49!  And the other one is cute too!  I cannot decide!  I shall transfer $100 from my Emergency Account and buy them both and maaaaaybe I’ll return one later once I decide definitively which one is cuter.  That’s a great idea.  Right?”)  I’ve got this amazing babysitting gig that pays me crazy well and is scheduled once a week, but in the last 6 weeks I’ve been cancelled on 3 times.  I get it, I’m not blaming them, but mama, I am BROKE.  Trying to decide whether it’s worth it to cancel my insurance until I go to grad school so I can “save” $120 a month from now until August broke.  Not leaving the house lest I spend money broke.  I should probably return one of those swimsuits broke (but seriously, how often do I even find ONE swimsuit that looks good?!  It’s been like 3 years!).  Selling all my shit on ebay broke.  Yard Sale broke?  Hmmm…that could work…oh or I could just get my finances in order and make a budget and stick to it and stop buying clothes and spending too much on groceries….Sigh. 

Is this my life right now?
