Here I am, still haven't left town yet to get on the road to see family for Thanksgiving. In fact, we probably won't get on the road until sometime tonight. I greatly dislike the highways in general, but especially at night before a huge holiday.
But at least it gives me some time to write up a budget review. So here's where my money went the last two weeks compared to the budget I set for it:
Projected/Actual
Sallie Mae - 407/407
Defaulted Student Loan - 260/260
Sprint - 74/74
Groceries - 150/97
Professional Fee - 155/155
Health - 45/160
Misc. - 180/183
Gifts - 0/50
Clothes - 0/120
Overbudget in a few categories and the health costs will continue to be higher than normal for at least a short time. It's not something I regret, as it costs money to make myself better (and yes I'm being purposely vague for the time being).
I did manage to bring in $47 in additional income the past two weeks which makes up for some of the unbudgeted expenses.
And I held off for the longest time on buying clothes but faced with the upcoming holidays and the Moth Massacre of my sweaters I gave in and bought some new stuff.
That's how the pumpkin pie crumbles. Stay tuned for a new budget post.

Money spent on healthcare to better your health is money well spent. If you would neglect your health, it would cost you much more in the long run. Don't feel bad about spending money on clothes. You have a professional job and need to look the part. Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels!
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you might be expecting?
Oh heavens no! Haha. Not anytime soon. :-)
