Beach trip FTW...

For those that don't know...I'm planning a beach trip in November. The week of the 8th - 15th. The week of my birthday.

The house is beach front, has 3 bedrooms, 2 decks (1 right onto the beach).

I love the beach. Since the family quit going every year....I've decided to keep the love alive and go myself every year. I love the beach too much. Its the only place I can truly 100% relax.

So here is my issue. The house costs a little over $1,100 to rent that week. I've already paid about $480 of it. So thats over $600 left. I've so far got $120 put away. So a little over $540 left to pay.

And the last payment is due on Augusta 8th. 30 Days before the actual trip. So I've gotta put away another $500+ before then.

Stress. I know it shouldn't stress me. I have time. But I don't like cutting it this close. I've got 8 weeks left to save it up. And I know I won't be able to put money away every week. Groceries....car insurance....etc.

I'm so worried I won't be able to afford it in time. And that'll be lost money because they won't give you the deposit back unless someone else rents the property during the time you originally reserved. And I can't afford to just lose $480 because the rental people are asses.

Anyway...thats my little stress vent.
