Well, I think I've discovered my first challenge in post-school debt life - lunch!
I have been a dutiful brown-bagger for years and years, but lately I've been buying my noontime nosh. Part of it is a lack of leftovers. You see, normally I cook a big dinner for the DP and I, so I can save some for lunch the next day. But now that a weekday dinner with the DP is as rare as a pair of well-fitting jeans, I've become lazy about cooking altogether. All the mess and effort just for me? No thanks.
But buying lunch is not only overwhelming (there are a LOT of choices), but pricey! Today I had a delicious sandwich and some chocolate milk...for ELEVEN DOLLARS! Ugh. That's more than a T-shirt at Joe Fresh. So wrong.
So you'll all be happy to know that I actually made dinner tonight - including leftovers! (But Wednesday I already have a lunch date... who can say no to crepes!?)
Tax money goal: $2000
Current balance: $0
Spent this weekend: $22-ish
Spent today: $26

What has prevented me from buying my lunch in recent months is working in a business park with a single restaurant within walking distance...and one with exceptionally slow service. I won't lie - I miss the variety of downtown. Enjoy those crêpes!
My crepe date fell through! But hopefully we can reschedule for next week. I'll raise my fork to you!
