Monthly Money Check-in: July 2013

Hi, it's the summer in Seattle, which means you shirk all responsibilities and play in the sun. So I'm going to do a quickie here. 

I look good this month. I got a nice commission. Then I bought a nice couch at a real adult furniture store, though it was in the ill-lit back room, on clearance because it was used in a model home. Still, it ended up costing us about $1,200, but then we sold the old couch for $200. (My boyfriend still owes me $500 from the deal. We just can't get the Chase transfer to work.)

And guess what...I like having nice stuff! I know that seems obvious, but I've never had nice stuff before. I've always been broke. Just at the movies the other night, I was realizing that this was the first time in my life I've had money. I like it! I want to stay here.

Also, sorry Dave Ramsey, but I'm buying a ticket to Thailand. Because...you know...I can, and you only live once, so fuck it. That will take about a grand off what I have below.

Here are the numbers:

I also might...miiiiight be on the verge of a huge deal at work. Pretty exciting!
