Also tomorrow I'll officially book my flights with my dad's card muahaha.
Which means I'm totally going to be in Europe in June 2010! YAY
I need to inspire myself not to spend money with pictures of the places I will venture...

THE SIX MONTHS AHEAD
June 24th 2010 I will be flying from Auckland to London.
Although, I have no money. Absolutely none.
How much can I save in around six months? That's the question here.
I'm going on a 2 week European Contiki which costs about $2400. Flights are roughly $2500.
And there's the spending money... It's recommended about $200 NZD a day. A DAY. So maybe around 3 grand? If I spend a few days in London first, leave on the Contiki on the 30th, and come home on the 15th July.
So shall we say, I need $8000? In 6 months? That's hilarious!! As if.
Realistically I could try and save $500-$600 a month..? Meaning by the time I leave I'll have over 3 grand?
I'm going to be owing my parents for a very long time. I hope they don't charge me interest... hahaha.
So I'm starting this blog to maybe motivate myself to save more, be very frugal, and not spend so much money. I spend way, way, way too much. It's ridiculous and a little embarassing.
The thing is, I still have some Christmas presents to sort out... and for New Years I'm travelling to Melbourne.. which requires spending money..
See? It's ridiculous! I can't save to save myself. Hahah. Eeekkkkk.
Starting next year I will not spend so much.
I will record everything I spend.
I will save so so so so so much.
I will find other ways to earn and save money.
This is going to be very, very hard for me.
But hopefully, I can pull it off.
Europe, here I come!
