Dear Friends and Family,
Three months in a row where the cash left over at the end of the month equals zero. Time to come up with a plan so August doesn't turn into a repeat of the prior months.
Now, all is not stark in the mouse household. We still saved each month. It's just usually, we have something left over after our savings. These three months, we haven't.
Just need to refocus on our expenses. Make sure we have our act together before it creeps into something bigger.
I think I'm going to give us a daily budget, but not the same amount each night.
Monday: 13% (base + a little extra for gas and lunches at work)
Tuesday: 8% (base)
Wednesday: 17% (base + gas + dinner out)
Thursday: 8% (base)
Friday: 8% (base)
Saturday: 25% (the big day - since it's when we do our food shopping)
Sunday: 20% (a smaller day - since it's the weekend)
Excuse the rounding - Tuesday, Thursday and Friday are the same amount (8.3%).
Cheers!
