One Month's Budget


We give ourselves $1,500 a month for a budget. Some might think this is a lot and it might be for some but for me it's not - I love to shop, especially for the kids. We use our credit card for EVERYTHING so this includes gas for our cars, groceries, clothes, take out, birthdays, etc. I just started keeping track of it so I can impress my hubby and really stay at $1,500 (which I never do). Our credit card statements ends on 7/24 so I'm starting the tracking from 7/25 to 8/24. I can't believe it, we are only 10 days into the month and we are at $553.17 and that doesn't include my Gap purchase and dinner from Friday night. Oh no! We got the cat groomed so that took a big chunk out of it. Oh no!!!!!! Follow me during my month long budget crunch! I hope my hubby is reading this and knows that I'm serious.

Its hard but when you feel accountable you think before you spend if that makes any sense.
