Between gifts and travel, I don't think there will be enough money to pay all the bills this month.

If things are that tight, is there any way to cancel the travel? Unless it's already paid for, or something that will help you stay sane?

Clearly the NYT Dining section this week is geared towards Citibank employees.

Travel can't be canceled, we're going to go see relatives that probably won't be around much longer.

Heh, I should have been more clear -- they're guides to affordable champagne (bottles under $30) and caviar (they recommend American farmed sturgeon).

TAR: The producers must have really hated the Weavers, because they made the final challenge that unlabeled map and then the challenge that sumi linked to, they weren't going to do any better on. Moral of the story: if you homeschool, please pay more attention to geography.

Not to mention etiquette, kindness, bigotry and so on.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Apparently that's how it works in the World of Finance? Your base salary is kind of bullshit, because the bonuses are so big?

Pretty much. Everyone who works above me, including my boss, my boss's boss, and my boss's boss's boss, has the same base salary as I do.

Next month will be okay as well. It's just I took over the finances in November with a whole bunch of overdue bills . Then we did the dogs (which I really didn't want to do right then) and that ended up costing a whole lot of money last month. Then there are the extra expenses of December with gifts and travel and property taxes. January should be much better.
