T-T oh how I wish I had been able to give myself a monthly hobby budget. A local yarn shop is hosting a sweater yarn dyeing workshop- 5 skeins for $125 CAD, extra skeins $25/per. It's cheaper than their in-house-dyed yarn! AND they still have room!

But alas, I have already pre-spent my birthday, xmas, AND my hubby's birthday budget (with his blessing) plus some of our expected tax return money on Hozier in August.

Plus groceries are going up so our wiggle room is gone. Over $1K CAD a month to feed a family of four! $75 is ordering out ONCE. And we do NOT buy brand names, fancy foods, or meat that's not on sale.

I really hope it happens again next year or something when I might be able to scrounge up some extra cash or I finally find a second job.

#vent post #please don't mind the money venting we're scraping by atm and I know a lot of ppl aren't #I just REALLY need to vent #I'm so lucky to have a job that has insurance bc our meds are $175/month with 90% coverage #and hopefully they start RRSP matching again bc that's the only thing we have going to savings atm for a down payment on a house #we need to buy a shitty house in the next year or two when we get kicked out of affordable housing for making too much #or we'll end up being lifelong renters where rent is easily $2k/month for a 3 bedroom illegal suite and only going up #it's my first ever RRSP or anything so there's only like $1k in there now and we're still dipping in and out of my overdraft #hopefully not for much longer now tho fingers crossed #I want to live somewhere where I don't have daily athsma attacks from an attached neighbor smoking indoors #and where we are allowed to paint the walls and have a dishwasher and clean the airducts and not have original 70s asbestos linoleum liftin #and have a working hot water heater we don't have to trick into heating multiple times a day
