new license plates

January 28th, 2009 at 06:01 am

Had to go to the BMV and get new license plates and a new drivers license card today. It cost $79.50. The good thing is I basically budget the amount over the course of the entire year so it was kinda like I really didn't spend anything.
My friend went with me and couldn't believe that I really budgeted all year to pay for stuff like that. He said "ohh but you don't really do that?????" and was incredibly shocked when I said yes I do.
He drives me crazy cause he is un-imployed right now and has no idea of how to budget at all. He always says how smart I am about money and such. But then he gets defensive and says I'm cheap and that he refuses to live poorly and that sort of thing. He told me he doesn't have enough money to buy anything at all for the next couple of weeks yet he went to the movies with me yesterday and today he spent about 8 bucks on pillowcases. I gave up a long time ago trying to help him understand some of his money troubles. But it still drives me crazy!


Ohhh one last note. The movie I saw was "Underworld, Rise of the Lycans" It was free for me cause I got a free ticket with my regal card from the last time I went to a movie. The movie was very good if you like vampires and such like I do. My only real gripe with the movie is that they filmed it as though the camera was glued to the actors. I kept saying to myself (to thE director)hey why don't you pull that camera back a bit so I can see whats going on. LOL.

    lol - i have a friend who is very similar. i helped her work out all her bills for the year so she could put money aside each week and have it there for the bills when they came up. everything went well for a month or two, and then she ran out of money and wanted to go out on the town. so what did she do? pulled the money out of the bills account. i was like 'you've completely stuff it up now, unless you are going to be able to put it back soon' and she was like 'no, i wont be able to put all of it back, but its ok, i'll manage'.

    suddenly her car registration is due, and because she spent her bills money on drinking, she could only afford a 6 month renewal instead of 12 months, and ended up paying $40 more (cheaper to get a year).

    We can't wait to see the new Underworld movie! Glad to know it lived up to the hype. We're going to see Bloody Valentine this weekend. Smile

    Whitestripe- Thats exactly my friends attitude. He just buys some of the dumbest things and yet can't pay the important stuff.

    kopper - I saw My Bloody Valentine too. Definately an 80's style "slasher" film but pretty good. I didn't know they had some shows in 2 D and some in 3 D so I missed out on the 3 D part.
