demariana | 2023 in review

Well I just did an audit of my spending in 2023 and I need to cut back on the Google Play items. I can also cut back on eating out. I am trying to organize better this year to keep a better track of what I am spending and where. I do not have any new years resolutions but if I did this would be one. For 2023 my categories when I did the audit was deposits, household bills, credit cards, google play, restaurants, and other. I am adding a column for 2024 on my spreadsheet to use these and some other categories so it will be easier to audit during the year. I plan on reviewing each month.

I cancelled my amazon prime and joined on my common law hubby's as family. I also need to stop doing instant gratification ordering. I have some big bills coming up and no money for it. Like my medications. Since it is a new year it is new deductible. At least if I am able to work it out I should have my deductible done by March. Then it will get better. Just hard for the beginning of the year. If I can get my taxes done in time I should be ok. I can get this worked out.

I am still feeling depressed and despondent at times, but it is getting better. Just nothing much fun it feels. I am going to a convention next weekend and looking forward to that. I have games scheduled to play and just have some fun.

I official start my new job on Jan 20th. I have already been added to the work chat for it and other things. It has not been announced yet, so still having to keep quiet.

Guess that is about it for now.
