I spent food on Thursday and yesterday on food mostly. I spent 7.92$ on food with my friend yesterday because I went to the library with her and yesterday, I spent 14$ on dinner with a bunch of friends. I think I'm starting to enjoy my college life with friends... Although, we went shopping yesterday with a couple of friends and I didn't buy anything.
My mind was on my challenge money the whole time and my clothes budget which I'm planning to buy winter clothes with. I'm going to spend it in Nov and Dec, around that time. So yeah, I think I've improved in my spending urge. I prefer to go out to eat with friends then buy clothes which one girl in particular bought quite some things in expensive stores. Most of them are girls. They don't work so they have money that was given by their parents.
So yeah, I manage not to spend for four days. I'm quite happy that I can go that far but one week will be a lot better ^.^". Well... this week, I spend around 22$ on foods alone with friends. ^.^' I enjoyed my time though. I also met a lot of people too.
As for my challenge money, I still don't know what I want to do with my 4000$ and my life in college is getting hectic... I would like to spend time with friends in college because it's my last chance before I start getting serious in my life. One of my college is in University and she was telling me she didn't see one of her best friends for a really long time and she's pretty busy with her homeworks. So... If I want to make my life in college memorable which luckily, I don't need to pay for my books and other things related to school, I can spend a little with my friends on activity. Like on Friday, we go out to have fun then eat and go on trips together in the holiday. Like Toronto where transportation will not cost much, probably 20-30$ because we're going by car and motel/hotel. I'll probably spend 200$ for food/accomodation/etc or less... Man, I'm happy to have friends who wants to spend time with me... ^.^'
Anyways, I'm planning to put 3000$ in my Spain + Morocco. If I plan to save all over again with 492$, I'm scare of breaking away from my friends. I will try not to spend on uneccessary things. I think I'm going to exchange my 1000$ Canadian dollars with the US dollars if it gets close to 1.00$, like really close... Which is yesterday but I'm planning to find a place where I can exchange my money to a better rate. I'm still thinking about what I'll do with the 1000$ left.
Old amount : 492$ + 3000$ =
New amount : 3492$
Failed my first week of no spending...

And it is a balancing act with your friends. I've got to balance my frugalness with my friends, too. Just remember that its not true that he who has the most toys or clothes wins.
