Highly negative cash flow

May 7, 2005 – 2:00 am

I finally got curtains. I wanted blue, but settled for green. Dang these super-wide non-standard size windows :P

Sat down and took stock of my damage for moving:-

- Shikibuton (Seiyuu) ¥7,700
- Shikibuton, kakebuton, pillow set (Bic Camera) ¥31,290
- Sheets (Bic Camera, Seiyuu) ¥5,000
- Blanket (Seiyuu) ¥6,000
- Pillow (Bic Camera) ¥1,800
- Lace curtains (Seiyuu) ¥8,190
- Blackout curtains (Takeya) ¥10,100
- Clothes stick (Seiyuu) ¥1,200
- Towels (Seiyuu, Takeya) ¥2,600
- Socks hanger (Seiyuu) ¥800
- Racks (Seiyuu) ¥2,000
- Plastic chests (Muji) ¥1,890
- Wok (Takeya) ¥2,600
- Wok cover (Takeya) ¥600
- Pot (Takeya) ¥2,600
- Knife (Takeya) ¥3,500
- Wooden spatula (Takeya) ¥200
- Plastic ladel (Takeya) ¥300
- Bowl (Takeya) ¥315
- Toilet cleaner (Don Quixote) ¥800
- Small table (Don Quixote) ¥2,700
- Misc kitchen supplies (Seiyuu) ¥3,000
- Misc boxes and kitchen items (100 Yen Shop) ¥2,500
- Mobile phone V602T Nudio (Akihabara) ¥0

Total: ¥97,685
Plus slightly over ¥400,000 for key money, deposit, transaction fee, and first month’s rent.

So I’m like -$5,000 for living in a new place. And this doesn’t count the ¥6,000 or so I have to shell out for more plastic chests, ¥16,000 for vacuum cleaner, ¥7,000 for microwave, and figure about ¥20,000 for misc racks and stuff for CDs and books.

It could have been worse. At least I can get a second hand washing machine and fridge from people at work. And Takeya and Don Quixote are really cheap.

But ouch. That really hurts. Ugh.
