A little bit envious

I am a fair bit envious of all my friends travelling to all the countries that I want to go to I am soooooo envious. It's not like me to feel like this but I have never heard them talking about wanting to go to other places in the world and there they are enjoying Paris. The only difference is that I want to go for a longer time and I have friends in France that I can stay with so that's cool and that can make the trip longer and I can see the French in the country. I'm going to open up an envelope that's dated for yesterday. I'm sure I will get over it as long as I still believe that I will be experiencing the same thing.

Florence on a world trip

My friend Florence is currently travelling the world. I'm super proud of her but I wish I was there too. She is super lucky, she has been through Asia and to Gallipoli for ANZAC Day in Turkey. She then travelled through Russia and now she is travelling through Africa on a 700km Safari tour and skydiving in Namibia. I can't wait for that to be me. If I'm going to South America and Asia I think I might save a bit more so I can go to more places like Russia and thrugh the Eurpoean countries. SoSave from June 2012 till December of 2013. That gives me another 6 months worth of saving. That way it can be one trip of a life time rather than 2 or more. Don't get me wrong I will always be travelling but it will be harder to save the second time around because there will be other things my money will be paying for. e.g a house, children, a lifestyle and career.

Work Help

I work for westpac and they like to help their workers so they have given us a website to help us reach our goal. Called Dream Big. I think it's awesome, it shows the how much I can save to reach my goal and that I need a second job to be able to do it. its very cool.

Saving some funds.

So it's $97 that I get to have for 2 weeks. So I'm finding it a bit daunting. Tips I have learnt from customers that come in are. 1. Don't go out and dine much. 2. Instead of buying your favourite wine at $15 a bottle, buy one similar at $10 so you can still enjoy the lifestyle. 3. Don't shout yourself a drink of coke, because that could be a night in Asia with air con. 4. Don't buy anything you cant take with you. 5. Put up pictures of you destinations to keep you motivated. 6. Think is this more important than my trip.

Back on track.

So I've been a bit slack lately and distracted. If I can get my teeth fixed and contacts by 28 of June. Which puts me one fortnight out but I'm sure I can make it up. I told my friend Johnny that if he can get me to save $21,000 by April next year he can have a thousand dollars. It would totally be worth it. If it works. He just has to help me implement it some how... Don't know how he going to help me do it. But I want to wish him luck.

Money Woes...

So I am running out of money very quickly, I'm getting my teeth fixed with another 7 to go at $200 a pop. I'm getting contacts so consiltation witht he optomitrists are expencive and my contacts for 6 months costs $400 and I didn't get the job at Domino's and I have to pay double for my phone bill. So yep and I bought a cycling outfit which also run out my money. Ow no. This saving thing isn;t going well.. Ok I'm on a hunt for a new job. My younger sister is coming to live 2 hours away from me and I have to pick her up from the bus station and take her down there which is also a coost but I'm happy to do that.
