The internet was set up early, I now have high-speed access at my new apartment. However, I don't much feel like blogging, as BF has suggested that we not see each other for a while, and I don't want to whine on here more than I absolutely have to. I don't know how that's going to work out with the whole living together situation, but i'm off next Thursday to the East Coast for a month, so I guess we'll work that out when I get back. ?
Hope your Turkey days and Black Friday deals were wonderful!

Lovely day
Today's weather couldn't have been more gorgeous and perfect. My cousin and I hiked up Rangitoto Volcano and explored the lava caves there, while my aunt and uncle took the guided tour by tractor-pull (i know, right?) around the island and up the volcano.
We then spontaneously got off the ferry at Devonport, one stop before Auckland. We found a pub to get a pint at and a cute little Italian restaurant to eat afterwards. I freaking love my family! it's so nice to see them, and I am just sorry i couldn't take the whole week off to spend with them!! I didn't know they were coming til last week, though.
There were alot of good things that came out of today, one of which is that my cousin and I got some alone-time to chat and compare notes on our lives now. She's 23 and just out of college, traveling around Australia, working for human rights with diplomats and Congresspeople for free, working retail jobs to support herself by day, and partying at her hostel by night. She has a year long work visa, and she's really taking every opportunity she can to experience Australia.
She admitted that she hadn't paid her credit card bill in full this month--money was too tight. She was choosing food and hostel fees over paying her cc bill in full. I don't get the feeling that her balance is that high, but interest certainly won't help.
Anyway, part of me thinks that this is one of those things that is worth it--just carrying a small balance on the credit card and paying later, when she's done with her year of fun. she's meeting people that are key to her field in human rights, that she wouldn't get a chance to meet or work with in the US. She's working for them for free right now so she can work for money later.
Some debt like this, investments towards your dream, are justifiable and reasonable to me. She's so young, and getting such a great start on her career. What's your take?

Making Money From Home
This isn't a sponsored post--it's a true story (mine).
I think alot of people want to find a way to make a little extra income while hanging out at home, surfing the net. Esp. now that people are getting laid off--what better way to spend the downtime between resume tweaking, interviewing, and job searching than to make a few extra bucks?
I stumbled onto the idea of ChaCha a while ago, while still unemployed after moving to New Zealand. I've held off writing about it here because I wanted to try it out first, and make sure it was legit and recommendation-worthy.
ChaCha is like google from your cell phone--you text a question, and a live person texts back the answer (from a computer). Of course, with so many cell phones with internet access, this service may become moot in the near future, but for now, it's gaining popularity. I think that people like corresponding with a real person, too.
ChaCha's pay scale system is still a little confusing to me, I have to admit. When I started, they were paying 20 cents a text, but I think it's dropped to 10 c in the past few months. However, they also started something with teams--you make 10% of what your team makes!
That's no small amount, if you gather up a large enough team. the last time I checked, I had about $45 just from my team!
I make about $20 a month doing it for about an hour every so often. It really adds up. Plus, it's fun! My favorite is when someone (probably a teenager) just keeps texting for no reason, other than they are bored. It's kind of entertaining. The worst it gets is when someone asks for a racist joke; i hate those and end up deflecting it by sending them a joke ABOUT racist people. :)
If you'd like to join ChaCha, there are a few hoops to jump through--you have to take a few timed tests to make sure you can handle the quick responses, and then you're hired on a trial basis. You are essentially a freelancer, so you do have to pay taxes later. See here for more information.
I just checked--currently they are not accepting new guides, but this changes every few days that I've noticed. If you see that they are hiring, and you want to join my team, use sensetodollars@yahoo.com as your referral when you sign up! Thank you!

My New Apartment
I went over to my new apartment after work today, just to grab an extra set of keys, see the furniture that was left, etc. It was a glorious sunny evening, and can I just say I LOVE MY NEW APARTMENT? good...'cause I just did. The sun was streaming in the 16 ft high windowed walls, the furniture was worn but comfy, and our landlords left enough stuff that it's like inheriting a whole household, ready-made.
In other news, my cousin, uncle, and aunt are in town this week, but I have to work. So I had dinner with them last night (Thanks Uncle C!)--BF and I took them to a really yummy thai restaurant (pricey but they were paying. :)) My aunt had two drinks and was getting drunk. We don't normally drink in my family (my grandparents were staunchly against it), so we were particularly chatty. They went to Rotorua on a day trip today. Color me jealous. I hope to take Thursday off to spend with them, maybe hiking up Rangitoto?
We move this Saturday...no idea when I'm going to be able to make up the day if I take off Thursday. Oh well.

Ode to My Red Shirt
This past couple of weeks, I've had quite a few work functions that I was expected to work at, but also look professional, polished, and together. I didn't need to look TOO professional and overdressed, like in a suit, but I needed to look a bit more fancy than I usually do (in my jeans or khakis and a polo or cotton T-shirt) at these functions. It was a conundrum--I was expected to get on the floor to set up displays and posters, run around like crazy lifting furniture and moving chairs, make sure the caterers were doing their job, etc., but I was also expected to be in photos at the event as part of the team, and schmooze with big-wigs.
The answer to my conundrum? My fail-safe go-to: my sleeveless, rich-red, boatneck shirt. It's pure magic.
Actually I don't know how much I paid for my deep red blouse, but my cost-per-wear has to be about half a cent by now. I do know that I probably bought it late college or in grad school--when I was VERY poor--at Marshalls or Ross or TJ Maxx, so I didn't pay more than about $10-$15. It is at least 5 years old--and still looks brand new.
It's been with me out clubbing, on dates, on interviews, at church, during my master's defense, my grandma's funeral (her favorite color was red--she wore it every chance she got), and most recently, twice in the past two weeks, at a project launch and at a conference. It is a rare piece of clothing that is so incredibly versatile. I mean, out clubbing AND at church? That's just crazy.
It provides a great punch of color to any outfit. Also, it's made of polyester, so it can go in the washer and dryer, no problems. Actually, I usually don't stick it in the dryer, since it dries so quickly. To top off it's amazingness, IT NEVER WRINKLES.
It is a LIFESAVER. I wish I could tell which clothes would be as useful as this item! Even though it was cheap, it was definitely an investment piece--I've gotten more use out of it than I could've ever imagined. Plus, it has saved me many a shopping trip and some major cash when something has come up and i've wailed, 'But what should I WEAR??'

Half of My Income
I really really want to live off of half of my income, and save the other half. It would be great, esp. since I'm not saving any money in retirement vehicles after the end of this year (I'm not allowed, since I'm only earning NZ Dollars). and, since NZD are worth roughly half that USD are.
Yes--that would be great. But I think that's just below my comfort level. After careful consideration, I've decided that 55% of my income is probably the most do-able--but I'll start at 60-40 just to be sure.
Really, the line between 'comfortable' and 'deprived' for me comes down to a few hundred dollars. That's not very much in the grand scheme of things--a couple thousand dollars every year to be happy? DEAL.
It's really odd to think about though--$1492/month (half) feels hard, but $1800/month (60%) seems terribly extravagant! Behold:
The only real change from one to the next is the 'Misc' category--this serves as my 'fun' money, allowance money, overflow from other categories (food), and extraneous household and random purchases of necessary items.
The rent category is high, but it could drop to $740 if we rent out our garage space--I really want to do that but BF wants to keep it open in case he buys a campervan. I told him he had 2 weeks to figure it out and let me know before I start advertising the spot.
Dropping the rent by $100 MAY make this whole thing do-able. However, still unknown are our electricity, internet, and food costs--that will be figured out after the move this weekend.
The previous tenant said that their electricity costs were $140/month!! that's a huge increase over our $30-$40 bill every month in our current apartment.
Groceries may also increase--i won't be within walking distance of a grocery store anymore, so I may get them delivered (an extra $15 each week if we do it that way--which we really need to do for produce...but hopefully there's a corner market nearby where we can stock up on perishables every week, and drop the grocery deliveries to every other week?). We also may eat out less now that we have an actual refrigerator/oven/cooktop/etc.--so it may even out!
Internet should drop by a little bit, but we still haven't figured that out, either. It shouldn't be more than $50 for each of us, though.
Ok, this is a way boring post, but i've been away for a few weeks and I need to re-establish my goals to myself! Repetition is the name of my game.

I'm baa-acck
Of course...my adapter arrived the day I left for my conference.
To put a financial spin on things, my food was all provided this week. On the other hand, I probably spent all my grocery money on alcohol. I don't think I went to bed before 1 am every night, and had a 7 am start every day--and it we didn't return to the hotel until we were done for the night.
needless to say, it was an AWESOME time. and only re-emphasizes to me that all I'm really missing here in NZ are people to do things with.
more later...i'm wiped. thanks for all the comments on my last post. :) it makes a happy day even happier.

So Sad...
Wow, since i've moved to NZ, it seems like loved ones back home have started passing away, one by one. My uncle died in August, and about a month later my friend from high school died in a horrible car wreck.
I talked to my mom and dad yesterday, and my dog of 16 years, Buddy, was killed by a school bus this past week. He was old and showing his age, but had a few good years left in him...it's too bad--if only he had just made it a few weeks longer, I would have gotten to play with him and give him a good scratch behind the ears, just how he likes it, again. In addition, my Sunday school teacher of 4 years and my beloved fourth grade teacher died in a fire and of natural causes, respectively.
Wow. The loss is overwhelming. What is God/the Universe trying to teach me with all of this horribleness?
In other news, I have a conference this week in Taupo, so I will be offline unless I get to keep my work laptop. My adapter is still MIA.

Oh What a Hard and Exciting Week
This week has been incredibly interesting, difficult, inspiring, and busy. highlights include: renting an apartment in less than 24 hours, 2 huge work events, and best of all--OBAMA!
Last Saturday BF and I saw 3 apartments. The first was terrible, awful, tiny, and incredibly generic. I felt like a hen in one of those horrible henhouses when I was there--couldn't wait to get out.
The second was much better, but very expensive and didn't even have half the things on our list (parking, and furniture).
The third was awesome! still very expensive--the high end of our budget at $450 per week, and still no parking. But it had everything else, and we were about to sign on it, and pay the RIP OFF of a 'letting fee' of 3 weeks rent (yeah--that's $1350, just for SHOWING US AN APARTMENT FOR 10 MINUTES). Letting fees are insanity. I thought they were some kind of security deposit, but noooo...
Sunday we spent the night at a coworker/friends house that has a room for rent. He really pulled out all the stops to get us to rent from him--cooked us dinner, showed us around, and made all sorts of promises of what he'd help us with. It was very sweet and nice. We probably would have ended up there, but his house is over an hour away from work by car-train-walk commute. doing that twice a day, 5 times a week? Not cool, and we don't have a car that would be necessary to get to the train session, grocery store, ANYWHERE. Plus, it only had one bathroom, and I would have had to share it with 3 guys. Also not really that awesome. The views and house were AMAZING, though.
BF was all for it. But I got back on Trademe and kept looking, made a long list of places to call. On Monday at about 1:30 I visited a place about 10 minutes walk from work. It looked crappy from the outside, but I've come to learn that appearances are very deceiving in cases like this. This place had EVERYTHING! Secured, 1 car garage, two very good-sized bedrooms, lots of light and sun, balcony, furnished with absolutely everything (except for a dryer, hmmm), cool owners (i love renting from owners instead of management companies), no letting fee, and best of all, close enough to work to walk! It is $420 per week, unfortunately, but we can rent the one car garage for $50 a week, decreasing the rent to a much more budget-friendly $370 pw (or, $185 pw for each of us). Oh Happy Day!
I told BF about it and he was just like, let's do it. Let's get it. We went back the next day at 11 AM and signed a lease! Hurrah!
I had the second half of a first aid course on Wednesday at work--and I was way too distracted--at all the tea breaks and lunch I was checking on Obama's progress. I wouldn't want me around in an emergency... :) I went to an election party Wed. night to celebrate. There's a small band of Americans in my work place that came over to a co-workers place to listen to Obama's INCREDIBLY inspiring acceptance speech online, and talk about America's future. It was also Guy Fawke's day, so there were lots of fireworks--how appropriate! It felt like Fourth of July--a new birth for America. I went totally white trash and drank the cheapest cider i could find from a 1 liter plastic bottle. (in my mind, that is very 'American')
New Zealand also has an election this week (it ends tomorrow). I happened to catch one of their debates, and the differences were illuminating. They used America as an example of what NOT to do on virtually every issue.
Every single person I've met in New Zealand (from ALL over the world--Kenya, South America, England, NZ, US, etc.) was for Obama and against Bush. That is a very telling fact.
I got a new officemate this week--he's really cool, and nice. It's awesome to have someone to talk to during the day about random things when I need a breather from work, just like I did in grad school. I heart it, and wish he didn't have to go away in a month!
Anyway, the past two days at work were incredibly hectic. Since I started, I've been planning two large events, one Thursday night and another during the day today. There were lots of 'big-wigs' in the meetings and functions that are very important in my field, and I got to meet them. I think it all went well; my supervisor said, in front of everyone, that I was "rapidly becoming indispensible." Good yeah?
More on that later, but I just needed to share. Lots of news!

excitement!
a quick note: my adapter to my personal laptop broke a few weeks ago. I immediately bought a new one on trademe (like ebay and craigslist, combined), but it hasn't arrived yet. I'm typing this on a work laptop, against my good judgment...it may be a while before I post again. :(
just wanted to say: I'm in love with America for voting in Barack Obama! Hurrah! (everyone in New Zealand is celebrating, too!)
