financial times, stress season

$600 is how much I have at the end of this fortnight. Plus an extra $100 reimbursement for SRA membership means I saved $500 this fortnight from $1100! Yay! He can be taught!
$600 spent is less than $50 a day, and for me, that is awesome.

Customs got back to me yesterday with an offer, so I will fill that out this weekend and submit next week. Hmm... at current progress ($1000 per month) I would only have $3000 for Asia Cup... Paid leave would bring that up to $4000. Hardly impressive given my ambition of $3k - $10k...

I've been stressing this week. My soccer plans went off the rails when no players materialised from higher grades and my defence was left in tatters. Our pre season match last weekend went to script and we got pumped 4-0. There was a lot that came out of that game though apart from showing up the deficiency in the team. The three strikers worked well and we created plenty of chances, although failed to convert. And some of the goals could easily be ironed out, although we have a marked lack of depth at the back.

Lols I'm an idiot... There was 5 months from February to July. At current pay I would only earn $10,000 net in that time! My virgin credit card got approved which is good and will allow me to pay off my current credit liability. But if I did that my Asia Cup fund would dwindle from a max of $4000 to $2000... Methinks if Asia Cup trip does go ahead I will return in a worse financial position than when I leave!

Now I will need to apply for leave again... this doesn't look feasible...
