I have tracked our spending for the month and have done my best to stick to the budget. I deliberately highlighted areas where we overspent, there were 16 areas. I failed to put money aside for 5 areas due to the overspending in other areas. I now know what areas to work on and hopefully there will not be any forgotten expenses next month! I can at least check my progress from now on! (what I managed to save will cover the areas I didn’t allocate to but I want to get to the point where everything is allocated and we have still saved money!))
