Paycheck has arrived!!

June 19th, 2008 at 12:18 pm

I got my paycheck today! It is 432.59$ because I work at least 18 hours more these past two weeks!! Wooohooo!!

Okay first, I have to pay my phone bill which is 43.56$. Compare to the last bill, it has been reduced by around 7$! I am so happy!

Paycheck: 432.59$ - 43.56$ = 389.03$

I decided to use my paycheck to pay my phone bill. Paying through my weekly allowance may not work because it is summer now and I would like to enjoy with my friends and boyfriend as much as possible. I would revise my paying methods once school starts.I also decided to put the 30$/week allowance to the school year instead. My summer will be more expensive than I expected. =P

What I decide to do is put my tips as my spending log for the summer. I can spend on activities but once it's gone, I can't go out anymore. So far, it's been working great and I didn't have to pull out the money in my bank anymore because I spend my time working 3-4 times/week and I go out around 2-3 times/week. Most of the days, I either spend time with my boyfriend which I frequently almost spend 0$ and with my friends whom I spend 10$-20$. The most expensive activities that I will have to pay is my outing in the theater with my boyfriend's family in July/August and my trip to the waterpark with my boyfriend's family or my friends.

As you can see, I am trying to enjoy my summer by not spending all my paycheck ^.^'. As for the 389.03$, I will put 389$ in my challenge money.

Old amount: 7271$ + 389$
New amount: 7660$

A little update here and there

Hey everybody,

For my plan to go to the health center to check if I need any additional shots. Well the weather wasn't too good this past few days except this weekend. I hope to go on Wednesday morning seeing that I work in the afternoon.

My Tina suggestion on Asian artists will be up soon, I'm trying to pick th best artists from Japanese singers and Chinese singers that I find good to present to you guys. It will be up somewhere this week when I have time.

Last thursday, I receive my paycheck. It was 279.75$. My dad asked me to pay the maintenance guy in my credit card first so he'll pay me back after. It cost 87.99$ and I got 90$ back from my dad. He tells me to keep the change so I earned 2$ ^.^!! I paid 31.49$ on skin lotion this month because I order in the phone something that will might take care of my oily skin and my sudden blemish. I have 250.27$ left. I'm putting the 200$ in my conservative clothes and 50$ in my Japan trip.

As for my challenge money, I have 221$ instead of 255$ in my bank. Damn... I should really write it down in this blog to make sure I won't have any sudden surprise. Anyways what is done is done.

Old amount: 7221$
New amount: 7271$

For my allowance last week, I used up all my 30$. I dunno if I will use the allowance to pay up my phone bill and skin lotion. I'll thinki about it later.

For my conservative clothes shopping, I didn't go last Friday so I'm going this Friday for sure. I'll put up a list once I decided what I need to buy. I have to go to work now.

Today it's official...

Weekly income

May 11th, 2008 at 04:38 pm

I started working yesterday for the first time in five months at Tim Hortons. I started out at the sandwich counter which was stressing for me because it has been awhile I haven't went through that much stress but I kept my cool all day and today too. I was surprise that I remember many things at work. I really look like I haven't left at all.

Let's see how much tips I got in these two days. Yesterday, tip was 31$ and today, it was 29$. In total, I got 60$ of tip. The 1$ went into my piggy bank and the 30$ went in my personal spending money for Morocco (I was missing 100$). My 25$ today will go to the Japan trip saving.

Old amount: 205$
New Amount: 230$

The 4$ left will also go to my piggy bank.

From now on, I'll be getting a weekly income which is the tips and bi-weekly another income. I hope to be able to save at least 2000$ this summer by working a lot before and after my Morocco trip and before school start.
