Update

Today I got $60 out of savings to buy workout clothes so I could run. This sounds like it's not a necessity, but it does fall under the "bleeder" emergency rule. Apparently the clothes I have now are not conducive to running 2-3 miles at a time, as they make me chafe horribly. And I mean horribly.

I bought some spandex training shorts for $30. Since I'm heterosexual and have social anxiety disorder, I also bought some loose shorts to wear over them. They were on clearance at Sears for $3.99, so I bought three pairs. It's one thing to be frugal- it's another entirely to be penny wise and pound foolish. I'd just end up buying more expensive shorts later.

I also used some of the $60 for gasoline. The remainder ($1.04!) goes back into savings.

On the brighter side, I received my $100 for selling the laptop today. We'll keep $20 of it out for gasoline and sundries, and deposit the other $80. So today we have a net positive change.

Current Savings: $18,272.82
