Broke
First time, since I entered my first job, I am completely out of money and trying to save every single penny. And this is exactly the time, when people request most of me and there are so much things to do, that require money. I am lucky not to have any debts.

Saving is fun however. Going to bed earlier, walking in darkness, switching off water heater and refrigerator just to make my electricity bills lower, no more TV and computer at home, too, library instead. Oh, and the laundry washing machine appeared to operate better at shorter cycles. Repairing shoes and clothes by myself instead of visiting workshops that ask for more money, that I had to pay for the thing itself. Walking by foot appeared just a little bit slower as using the car or public transportation, since the city is small and time necessary to maintain the car or get to the bus station and wait makes them equal, it's just that my lazy ass has to move much and quick now. Those useless commercial contests appeared to be possible sometimes to win, too. And there are so much foods, I actually can live without - meat, tea, coffee, sugar, salt. Different teas appeared to grow in the local forests.

I could take some extra job if only I had more strength in the evening. As a cook, for example, so I could work and eat at the same time. If only those dirty owners-moneymakers didn't save on food quality by stuffing junk ingredients there...

I also avoid being together with other people, which appeared to require money quite a lot, too. That's sad. I mean, the fact, that meeting people requires money. Mobile phone conversations, party or movie/theater entrance fees, flowers, presents, cafeteria meals, drinks in bars, travelling. Where have those times gone, when all this was easily accessible with no or small money... I wish I could stitch something, sew or cut from wood for birthdays. People will probably think, I'm a loony. My works just not going to look as smooth, as factory made stuff available in supermarkets.
