I spoke to my mom yesterday. I pointed out that I was only getting 4 dollars a day for food under the current budget... and that was only if I managed to avoid spending money on much of anything else. I was going to suggest getting an extra 50 dollars a month, but before I could she suggested 100. That means I get 300 a month! AND I'm going to keep all the money I made for this pay period. Next month she'll transfer 300 to my account, the month after that we're going to see if I can put 100 or 150 towards it.
This means now that anything over 150 I'm going to keep. I need that extra 50 more and paying half of the money my mom gives me is pretty reasonable. I think so at least. I'm sure my mom will agree. I do need to remember to phone her Friday and say happy birthday! I'd send her a card but it somehow doesn't seem right to do for mom. I'll get her a bday present and give it to her late. Maybe when she comes and visits.
Just wanted to start the day off with some happy news. Time to go get breakfast!

Having lived in Sweden for 15 years and raised a family, arriving in somewhat similar circumstances I would like to help in some way. I moved back to North America for a job offer some years ago but we were just back in Sweden for a month and we are considering moving back. I ended up working as a translator before and still know many people in the industry there. How can I email you with info?
You are doing fine by the way...
