Life is expensive

Yesterday I visited mom again to chop some wood for her and to greet her on her b-day. She's 54 and does not look good at all :-( Life tortured her quite much but honestly I think in most of the cases she can blame only herself. The rest of the unlucky events always came from out of the blue. It seems that trouble always finds her somehow. I never believed in such before, but recently I really started to suspect that there is some curse on her or what... I will try to find out what's going on because the most unbelievable unfortunate events happen with her, some of which could even win a prize like the Darwin-prize, and at the end it is always me who has to pull her out from the troubles. I can do it at the moment but I am getting tired of it and I started to exhaust my financial resources. It's really annoying that I am not able to plan my life financially on a long run because I have to spend huge amounts on making sure she can survive financially. Anyway, she got a wonderful King-Lilly bouquet now. I spent there a few hours and then came back home.

Today I summarized my realized and forthcoming expenses for December and I almost got a heart attack. I have to spend almost 1000 Euro this month which is a smaller fortune for me. This is my monthly gross salary. Gross!
Monthly tickets for local transportation in Budapest and the monthly train tickets, food, apartment rental fee, internet, travel back to my hometown for Xmas, my monthly repayment to the bank for the loan I took for the Japan trip, training fee, seminar fee for February with T. F., airplane tickets, accommodation... and the huge extra: need to buy a new bed because the current foam mat I sleep on, completely lost its shape. Now there's a huge hole in the middle which means that my back and neck is in continuous tension during the night. I have not been able to have a good sleep since about I returned from Japan. (Oh, that mat was so cool!) So this new bed-project will pull away an extra 200 Euro from my wallet.

If it goes on like this, it will be a real miracle if I will be able to make it to Japan in next August.
I need to find a solution to save money for the trip. But URGENTLY.
