Easy come, easy go

I just wrote an uncommonly tedious post over on Froogville about my current financial woes, in which I outlined my policy of attempting always to spend no more than I earn in any one month.

One of the drawbacks of this approach to budgeting is that, particularly in times of scarcity such as now, it rather too easily inverts into spending everything you earn - as soon as you earn it.

The other day I picked up a very welcome 400 RMB for chairing a discussion group with some nice lady lawyers..... and immediately afterwards went out in Sanlitun with The Choirboy until 3am or 4am and pretty nigh blew the lot.

Naughty, naughty, Froogie - you must rein in these reckless bouts of self-indulgence.
