I laid down my budget and it turned out that every month - at the moment - I am spending 2 aureus, 13 silver, 9 denarius and 4 dup. bronze. Given this, I must earn 6 aureus, 2 silver and 1 Roman shekel a month. With this, I will be able to pay 1 aureus, 1 silver, 1 Roman shekel, 1 denarius, 2 dup. bronze, 1 Roman copper and 1 chalkoi to my investments, and will be able to save an additional 4 silvers, 1 dup. bronze, and 2 chalkoi.

Hopefully, I get a job immediately for next school year. I can do this. The power of the talisman is with me. It has already multiplied my present money to about 2 aureus, 1 silver and 1 denarius. I am awaiting the payment of 10 silvers, but that will be used to pay the bills. At least, something will be used for this month. I have the next month to worry.

This is war and I am starting it.
