Am I too Cheap?

December 22nd, 2006 at 03:10 am

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..
