Pay Day and Not Pay Day

Money is such a difficult and awful thing, isn't it?

My income and spending would probably make a peaking and troughing graph, like a sine wave, with time of month on the horizontal line.

My rent comes out at the beginning of each month. This means that as of around the 2nd or 3rd I am exceptionally shy of funds and never leave the house excepting to earn money and buy cheap food.

As it gets  towards the middle of the month I have earned some more money and feel more ambitious with my spending and will indulge. For example, I will pop into and Itsu and pick up some sushi for lunch. I do love sushi, but goodness it's so much more expensive than Greggs.

Then I know at the end of the month that I need to have enough money to be able to pay the bills so I get back on the Greggs chicken mango soft bites (which are delicious, filling and affordable at £1.90) and dream of sashimi I might get in 2 weeks time.

So now it's getting to the end of the month and I've just realised that my landlord makes more money from me in February than in any other month as I pay a monthly rent and not a weekly one. All in all it confirms February as one of the worst months of the twelve on offer.

Roll on March and it's 31 days.
