and the budget begins
The partner and I start our combine spending this month and it’ll be… interesting. Since I’ve got no job and since we rented a place before I knew what he actually brings home, we’re in the red this month. So, I’ll toss over some of my savings to cover what I should be bringing home and we’ll both get skinny on spending.
It is a pretty heated issue because, for him, it is so much change at once. Change banks, change direct deposit, change amount in his account, change spending methods (I don’t do cash, he does), and I think there is a lot of teeth gritting going on. But, we’re going to do it and we’re going to do it right. :)
Of course, the money isn’t actually in the account to spend yet — he needs to pull from his personal account and I need to pull from mine, but we’re at least going to get started this month.
Looking at our -$700 for a conservative month of spending, I’ve got to get moving on that job thing. More interviews next week, still nothing from the ones I’ve had. My moral career decision making just got a new kick since I’m seeing just how red we are right now. So much for holding out for the right organization, time to take one and then go from there.

Good luck finding a job! You know, even if you aren’t crazy about a place, it’s something to put on your resume when you look for a better opportunity.
