Budget review  — 3 months ago

In January, we set up a simple budget system based on our credit card bills which is where most of our discretionary spending occurs. For the first month, we were under budget, saving money for expenses in the next few months.

A plan  — 4 months ago

We went round and round on how we wanted to do this, but I think we finally came up with something workable, not too complicated that we won’t do it, but robust to get what we need from the process. So, we have a budget goal and a spreadsheet to go with it. On our way to a budget-minded 2008!

Budget goals for the next six weeks  — 4 months ago
  • compute the annual expenses like taxes and insurance
  • determine the budget amounts for spending on the house, yard, and other discretionary expenditures in 2008
  • set up procedures for sticking to the budget

Librarian has gotten 36 cheers on this goal.
