Overspent
6 Jul 13 Comments
The weekend was a blast, but more expensive than I had prepared for. I started the weekend with $78 in spending money, but ended up spending $105.
This is a first for me and unacceptable. For punishment, I am setting my spending account at $-27. No spending till it’s back in black.
Of all the fun things I spent my money on, this Ying Yang Chocolate Martini was probably the most delicious. It was almost painful to ruin such a work of art by drinking…..it was like eating a Picasso.
And of course it was also Independence Day. I had to reflect for a moment on all the people who paid the ultimate price for the freedom and opportunity I enjoy every single day.
And on an entirely different note, I think sombrero + 6th Street would be a good mix:
From fallen war heros to sombreros, only you Nev!
Hi Neville, where have you been all these days? I was missing your posts.
We all make small financial mistakes.
It is how we recover from them that defines us.
I still remember my first (AND ONLY) margin call. It wiped a lot of money that I didn’t even had (plus the one I had once had).
Keep the good practices you are sharing with us. We will succeed.

you are a cheap shit
Nev,
No respectable man would ever drink a chocolate martini. Ever.
But that does look good though :-)

Sombreros are one of the single most effective tension-cutting and conversation-starting tools the human race has.
–Anonymous,
I’ve been very busy partying :-)

The best teachers are Trial and Error (Yes, I know that quote is ripped off from elsewhere).
–Anonymous,
You’re goddamn right I’m a cheap shit.
–Johnie,
Whether you respect me or not, I’ll still be ordering chocolate martinis! The respect of my taste buds is all I need!

It almost sounds as if the world is about to end! Overspent $27! Oh NO! The horror!
Damn I almost feel sorry enough for you to paypal you $27 but I really don’t.
Tommy, it IS the end of my world…..please PayPal me that $27 ASAP :-)
Perhaps make it $29 because PayPal charges a fee to withdraw.
Neville,
Are you an alcoholic? Spending 27 dollars over budget is unacceptable!
From what I have read on your site so far..
1. You have a gambling habit
2. You are a drunk
3. You sleep with other people’s
boyfreinds.
Is this how people act in India? Cause not here buddy….this is Bush country!
I rip hundred dollar bills for fun.
Greedy Redneck. I think what Nev is doing is great. $27 may not be much money but it’s the moral value of it. Im not sure why you say Nev has a gambling habit, as he never seems to spend money gambling except on the lottery experiment. He also doesn’t seem like a drunk to me (although I think he likes to party alot!)
The sleeping with boyfriends part, Im not sure what part of NevBlog implies that in the slightest sense.
Keep up the good work Nev.
YIN yang, dude. Yin yang.
