money slumbers

month on month increase of savings increased marginally by 8%. =D the intention was to use the last 8% on groceries, but dearie paid up ahead before me. looking at it from another perspective, as we pool our resources together, it doesn't matter whether the outflow was from he or myself.

another record for the month - there was no one-time expense. all that was incurred in the month were recurring stuff which i have to spend on. this gives me a good idea of my monthly 'fixed costs'; at bare minimum, what will i expect to spend. this is good to know, because in an event should i ever (which i don't think i will) consider to quit without a job, this will be a pretty good gauge to know how many months my savings will see me through over.

we watched wall street, money never sleeps on saturday. my takeaway from the movie? i wish i had a us$1mil bonus like jacob. haha! i just reminded me that alot of things happening in the economy are driven by rich people. it's all about the dollars and cents. for us, small fries, are just pushed along by those big potatoes who create the waves.

friday is a public holiday and that is goooood. dearie said we will be going to macritchie for a run. i miss the trails so much!
