A quick weekend update

So far, my trip to Vancouver has been fairly frugal. I spent $37.50 in bus/bus/ferry/bus money, and then another $3.50 to take the Skytrain another 30 min. to BF’s work. Other than travel costs, and a quick trip to the supermarket ($12), I haven’t spent anything.

Last night I met all of BF’s cousins, and tonight a lot of his family and friends were over at his house, so it was pretty overwhelming, but they all seem really nice.

I also have been thinking a lot about what Nancy said in a comment to a previous post, where I wrote about being open about this blog, and about my finances with

Krystal – sort of like what leighann said, here’s a different take re BF: what if he completely accepted you in your current financial situation? And showed diplomacy in skill in not asking you to spend more than you are comfortable with, right now? And was really supportive of you? For the rest of your time together, you would have the confidence that rain or shine, he accepts and appreciates you as you are. Just a thought.

I like that idea, and I know deep down that he will understand and be supportive of me, and I know he’ll accept me for who I am. It’s just really frightening to reveal so much about yourself to someone … and even though I really do want to open up and tell him, I think I’m going to hold off a bit longer. Maybe until next weekend. I think I want to try and get him to do some guest posts in this blog as well. I think it’ll be interesting to get a different perspective on personal finance, from someone close to me. We’ll see if that pans out. :)
