In preparation for my expenses during my study abroad, I have been mapping out a personal budget and saving as much as possible. I also began a full-time internship on June 4th, and I have been working 40+ hours to meet those savings goals. Using the average cost of living in Kitakyushu, I have been able to map out a rough estimate of what my total expenses, and I accounted for all other kinds of expenditures in spreadsheet form using an Excel workbook. Now, I have reached my last day of work, and I have exceeded my goals by a considerable margin! However, I need to take note that I still need to watch my money numbers closely, even for this next week, despite the fact that I am not working anymore. I need to remind myself that while I have exceeded my goals, that my supply of money is not unlimited, and I can't spend it haphazardly. After all, a lot of my numbers are based on estimations on how much I will spend, I need to take care and have enough spare savings to make up for that possible margin of error.
