Money

[bertine]

I totally freaked out about money yesterday, thought I only had $100 until my next payday on the 15th and was crabby because of that.

Then today I looked at it again and realized that I forgot that one my mortgage goes through on the 1st and that I was planning for it still to come out of that account for some reason.

The moral of the story? Maybe you should wait until you are awake to look at your finances.

I've sometimes caught myself stressing over bills that aren't due for half a month and had to remind myself that, by the time they are due, I will have plenty of money for them, that in fact I've already earned the money to pay for them, I just don't have it yet. And the night before con, when I should have been going to bed, I convinced myself that surely some bills would come due while con was going on, so I had to go pay them now before I slept. I went and checked and nothing was due yet, but I paid them anyway. We are silly, but it beats forgetting about bills 'til after they're due I guess. I could stand to learn to relax about it a little, though!
