Looking at the online banking it's gonna be a little tight trying to spend more on a better tripod. Some of these people think there's boatloads of cash around for things like this. Maybe this 'll explain things better and maybe then you'll understand how tight things are.
I knew it was gonna be tight by the next week when the camera showed up. After tax i'd need $791 in the bank. Rent was coming out, anyday now, $505 and then new car payment, that comes out on the 5th, $454.93.
There's car insurance that gets taken off, on the 9th.. $212.49. yeah I gotta add the cents cause could make a difference. Gotta get some gas tonight, that's $25. Let's tally that up. ok hang on the camera tomorrow.. 398+13% tax: 51.74 = $449.74
Let's add those up.
camera: $449.74
gas for 3 days: $25
rent: $505
car payment: $454.93
car insurance: $212.49
Good on food till I get paid on saturday, yeah that's in a couple days, good there. How much are these bills here?
$449.74 + $25 + $505 + $454.93 + $212.49 = 1647.16
How much do I got in the bank right now, before getting the gas later? $1,885.77
ok 1,885.77 - 1647.16 left with $238.61 to spend on what's in the amazon shopping cart.
Sat, get paid oh let's lowball it, say $730. What other bills yet to come off? I gotta get food, oh, on saturday.. Get paid next in a week. No other bills coming off though, right? How much am I gonna need for the week.. um, gas a couple times so 50 there, food maybe 100.
Knew it was gonna be tight the past week with that 800 I'd have needed for the camera, wasn't gonna make it so got chicken weiners at 1.47 I think it was, instead of beef hotdogs, which were like oh i don't know 5 bucks probably.. made the cut there. Looks like i woulda had maybe just enough for that, what was it 791? Nevermind about that, look at what the stats are now.
238.61 left to spend on amazon cart. What's the tally at now.
Subtotal (4 items): CDN$ 201.42. 2 cards at 70 each, camera bag, batteries, charger. See, that 25 bucks I wanted to spend on a tripod, wasn't kidding guys. Plus there's gonna be tax, not sure about PST but for sure GST, and then think there's maybe shipping on the tripod. Yeah, these guys that think I got $100 bucks no problem on a tripod right now, um, no.
Let's check the credit card, $65.00 available credit.. um, no there. So yeah, right now, pretty much 25 bucks for that tripod. The game 'll change if I can return that card tomorrow.
