I checked last night and was a little frightened at my balance due in novmeber. Right around $1100.
But that's got my new digicam (~$600), a printer I bought for my parents (~$140) and some early christmas shopping on it, so it's not all self serving 🙂. The only things I really bought for myself on the card this month were food, gas, and the digicam. Christmas shopping will hit me hard this year, but I've got a good job, so it's all good.
I am very careful with my budgeting. I'm trying to save up enough money working this semester to pay rent next semester (~$1200) when I'm back at school. Gotta rebuild my financial cusion after last summer of going to classes and not having a job
