Now I'm actually considering converting a percentage of my pay into Euros each month...

Budgeting

The amounts of money I budgeted for my "categories" of spending were pretty much perfectly measured... unfortunately that means that I haven't been saving any money. So I'm now going to really try to live within an even smaller budget, now that I've managed to do it at this level for a couple weeks.

The cost of Gau's surgery is going to set me back a bit, sadly. Even factoring in the estimate of my tax refund and a bonus from work, I'm not going to be debt free at the end of the year. Sad.
