Let's try again

Okay-- so I quickly read over the last post from last year (when I didn't get my expected raise).


I want to give this another go/try. My family and Martin are away this week, so I'm totally on my own. I've been watching a lot of "Princess" lately and I want to see if I can live on a $50 cash diet (for now, that's not so bad. I haven't had to buy any food).. yet.


It should be perfectly easy-- however, once gas gets into the picture, we'll see. Let me think... Normally I spend about 75 litres of gas. If price of gas is about ~1.35-1.40 a litre and I need to fill up twice, my gas budget should be... $215 a month if I'm taking regular.


That's already my entire $50/month budget. :/ Damn.. If I want to stick to $50/month everything in, I can't drive. A bus pass is $75.50 (or about $18.88 a week).


What should I be left with for entertainment and food? 


Technically when mom is home, I don't need to pay for food, so it's all: Entertainment & Food. I don't think I should spend more than $50 a week on variables. (Coffees, snacks, entertainment, dining out..) 


Have to think about this.
