This morning as I am typing this entry here, I asked myself the question "am i too cheap?"
The answer, is likely to be yes, but I am not too sure.
Yesterday I spent 7 times more than my daily budget, that is, around 70 dollars USD or 7000 Japanese Yen.
I guess because I keep track of my expenses, I know exactly how much and where I've spent my money. And yesterday's budget was:
1. Train pass (good for about $12 worth of train value for me) for $11
2. Dinner party for my birthday at the scary/horror themed restaurant - $35
3. Karaoke with friends where we sang Christmas Songs - $10
4. Donuts and Coffee to cure my afternoon sugar cravings - $3
5. Buying bread and vitimin to eat at home - $8
6. A small baseball present to a friend for christmas - $5
Well, I had a great time yesterday, but why do I feel like I've splurged? hahh, and why do I feel semi-guilty about using that money?
I mean, honestly, I've already budget for those expenses, and yet, a part of me still wants to saveeeeeeeee...
And I did! I used coupons for the restaurant and for karaoke.
Ah well, maybe I am just addicted to saving money..
Am I too Cheap?
