College Finance Management and the Coveted Guitar

Haha...just got my paycheck today...so I checked my bank account hoping that I'll be able to have some extra dough to buy Carlisle's Les Paul guitar...oooooh...finally. My first rock guitar. Well, it sounded really good when I played jazzy riffs on it. Man I fell in love with it right away. The best part is that he's selling it to me for $200 only! As opposed to >$700 at guitar stores...it's been collecting dust in his room, waiting for its new master...

Wait, I took my wallet out. A crapload of receipts. I grabbed my ledger. Started to input my expenses against the cash I had. Plus add-in my hard-earned dinero. Oh wait...what are these envelopes doing on my desk (I haven't seen my desk in a week)???

Bills. Damn. Opened each. Then I opened my online financial obligations...

So I subtracted these. Finished paying all my bills about 15 minutes ago. Some extra remaining...no deficit spending this time. Then I factored in my recurring incidentals that I HAVE to allocate money for, i.e., gas and groceries (I'm not spending money on crappy campus food! Fresh and Easy is the solution!)...

Finished calculating income and expenses. Voila! The bulk sum that I had about two hours ago suddenly turned into a whopping two cents!

No guitar for now.

What the pho?
