elbow room
I’ve been looking forward to this Friday’s paycheck. I’ve covered all of my expenses. I don’t have any bills to pay. This entire paycheck is mine MWAHAHAHAHA! I was going to put the whole thing in my savings. But dangit, I don’t have the elbow room to do that.
I should put a chunk of it into my retirement account.
And I could use a better pair of shoes. And some dress slacks.
And I have a doctor’s appointment on Monday. Since my new health insurance kind of sucks, my co-pay could be as much as $60.
And I’ll need to go to the grocery store, where I should get some cash back so I can go to the laundromat and maybe even go to the cleaners…
The list goes on and on. As much as I am itching to boost my savings account by a huge amount, I have to leave myself some elbow room to take care of some boring stuff that is still very important. *Sigh* But I’m still going to save the overwhelming majority of my check. And I’m looking forward to seeing how much I can make my house fund grow!
