Ladies and gentlemen, I am now worth -$4,439.90!
Assets increased to $14,560.10, while liabilities stayed constant at $19,000. The increase would’ve been even bigger had I not spent like there’s NO TOMORROW during winter break. Still, I am very pleased with my net worth this month.

to return these boots and, I didn’t BUY ANYTHING else.
Wow, that was quite an accomplishment, especially since there were so many clothes on sale. So that’s $108 back in my checking account. Hopefully it will be enough to tide me over ’til the end of winter break, when this hemorraging of money should cease.
