Juggling Act

Pay day again --ahh money, the root of all evil, and we all learnt that it was greed that was right up there on the damnation list.
Isn't money - the lack thereof whats its really all about? Certainly has a major part to pay amongst crimes of humanity.
It's rude to talk about it and its only ever the closest friends/ family members who are ever privy to the pain or pleasure it may bring.
Time to pull out the rubber band and wring every last complaining cent from the pay cheque.
Interestingly enough, after my visit in N.Z a few weeks ago, the currency has all changed, the coins are feather weight and the good ol trusty 5c piece previously doomed to ending up in the bottom of the washing machine has now gone by the wayside completely.
Probably only a matter of time before it happens here. Be even more mindeful when it comes to the fuel pump then I guess to make the rounding up/down work in your favor.

And by golly there's enough pain in the wallet when it comes to money. The elastic band is stretched to the max, but these days I work with a pretty tight budget, all written down and adhered to as much as possible.
Its tru what they say, all those financials, if you don't have a budget then you are truly doomed to stuffing newspapers down your front eventually. (refer to last blogs reference to the warmth of newspapers)
My budget is slowly climbing me out of debt and despair which means a lot more to my personal well being than being cojoled into feeling that all is well with the world.
Which as we all know is a truly rotton place with more festering wounds than a biblical leper.
It would be just my luck that I would finally achieve a $0 balance on the credit card and the scientists working on that huge circular photon firing gizmo in Europe would have something go terribly wrong (or immensly amazing, depending on which way you look at it) and the entire Earth would be sucked into a black hole.
Yep, I can see it now, my statement arrives in the mail with the miraculous $0 balance figure right there in black and white and PHWOOP! We're all sucked into oblivion or to another dimension where credit cards don't exist.
