more money, more money, MORE MO-NEY, more problems?

so, i don't know if it's because i am too young to remember, but i can't recall the last time the Fed cut rates three quarters of a percent in an emergency session. ABUNAI! although my job is in no great danger, a weakened economy is always very unsettling.

it is in these types of financial times that i always wish i had more money saved. as of late, i have been trying to hoard money more. some people might call it "saving money," but there's a zealousness about my recent spending (or rather not spending) that i consider it hoarding money. i've been reading blogs like mymoneyblog.com, and i constantly think about the fact that one dollar saved is like two dollars earned. combine that theory with how much i dislike parts of my job, and it's surprising that i spend any money at all.

i've been waiting for a promotion that i had been promised a few months ago. this is most annoying as i have foregone a few thousand dollars in compensation in the time passed. i can't say i regret turning down the higher salary job offer for my current position, but as the wait drags on, i can't but help thinking about the what-ifs.

there really is no use in thinking. it's done, and i do like this job more than my last. that's gotta be a little bit priceless. hahahaha. and so, i just think to myself that i'll probably always want a little more money. enough is always a zero or two away, eh?
