Budgeting...

So, after my little saving money rant, I decided to put my own ass on a budget. Over the weekend, I reduced my landline, internet, cell phone, and electricity bills by $40 a month overall. All I had to do was make a few phone calls and inquire about their plans. Then, I budgeted my $400 a month in food and fun to $210 a month in food and entertainment - $160 a month for groceries, household purchases, and other stuff a month and $50 a month for fun and going out to eat (guess I'll just have to go out with more people who will pay for me hehe j/k)

So, I got my absolute living necessities down to $1,150 a month ($775 of that being rent... geez, I should move into another place or get a roomie :P) Now, I think I can go get that martial arts subscription :) I'll be going to my first class today @ 8pm to see if I like it :) If I pay for the whole year, I'll get 2 months free and 4 free private lessons (all valued at $440). Is it a good decision to just buy the year in advance?

I was thinking of wearing my little steel fan hanging off the side of my hip as a cute fashion accessory. And then pop it open at clubs and shit and be like, "Look, I'm asian. Tee hee." :P Then, if someone tries anything, I can be like "Waaaaaaaaa!" - the sound of an asian girl preparing to attack with her kung fu fan :P
