'Tis the Season

Does anyone else feel a 'money bug' at this time of year? There are so many big purchases for students right now - tuition, books, clothes, supplies, and a variety of others, depending on your circumstances. And we are feeling it. We sat down earlier this week and went through our budget of how to spend the money coming in and going on this semester - if our previous decisions are working out and what we need to save to meet our goals. But we are sure feeling the spending bug. There is apparently no problem in our heads with the economy; this semester is the most we have spent on books - ever! Even my graduate books were not as much money as we just forked out for James.

All I can say is I hope this is a temporary bug and we can get back to feeling normal and that our budget is not too effected by this sickness. (And I also hope you don't catch it, too!) Wash your hands, I guess, and keep on smiling as you swipe your card again and again for the major school purchases.

Yeah... we are definitely feeling the money bug right now as well. Seems like so many unexpected crisis and not enough cash... but I am just glad that we are going to school right now and that we are not just getting layed off of work like a lot of men and women who have graduated from school long ago. I think that would stress me out even more :)
