I have put myself on a budget. Not to control my wild spending or anything (I'm too poor for that) but rather to be able to afford to eat while I'm in europe. I did not think saving a reasonable amount of money was going to be this hard but it seems that even though I have cut out extra spending I still can't seem to keep any money in my savings account.
So I have taken the added step of putting myself on a limited budget in hopes of fixing this issue. On Monday of each week I will take out $100 in cash and that is all the money I can spend that week (food, going out, shopping, etc). Bills of course will still be coming out of my account but that is all. Let's hope this all works out and helps to control some of my freaking out.
