I am within budget for the first time since I started keeping track and trying to live on $1200 a month. I purchased another sandal I couldn’t help myself. My phone bill is back up but I can live with that. I’ve been enjoying the sun in the Caribbean since 7 Sept 2012. I visited St. Thomas and Dominica. The original plan was to visit quite a few more islands but I modified my plans. Hopefully I’ll continue my Caribbean exploration in 2013.
I’m more determined than ever to stay within budget. It’s been wonderful marching to my own drum beat. If I can continue to travel, lead and enjoy a simple life without having to work for anyone I will be the happiest person alive. I really enjoy the freedom of setting my own agenda.
