Budget, Sigh

Dear Friends and Family,

Every so often I put myself back on a budget, to remind myself that we need to watch what we spend. It also helps me sort through what I really need and what I buy because it's convenient.

We started a new budget yesterday. And, one day into it we spent 62% of the spend we have allocated for the week. Fortunately, I set up the budget as weekday budget that's supposed to go Monday through Friday and weekend budget for Saturday and Sunday. And, I hit Monday for subway and toll money so we have that covered for the week. Still, what's left will cover a mail night (train ticket, dinner, and gas) and that's about it.

It's good reminding myself that money isn't something that grows on trees.


Cheers!
