Verdict: Major Fail
Yes I do understand that $100 given to Evelyn for the sheets, $92.43 for the queen set she forced me to buy and $100 to my sister for Christmas would make me under budget, but still I bought stuff like the Clinique for myself that was expensive so this is a bad month. I also could have stood up to Evelyn I guess… but I guess it’s a cost I considered for living in a $2 million dollar mansion… wanted to keep my landlord happy. I guess this isn’t that bad of a failure but it still feels like I spent too much by choice.
