Create a budget (read all 2 entries…)
Starting over...

Okay, so we don’t have two households anymore because we got married in November of last year. We still have yet to create a budget. However, I did get a new laptop last night. This means I can put my Microsoft Money on here and really do some tracking.

I set a budget for Christmas… This is a pretty small step, but one in the right direction.

We have decided to spend no more than 1500.00 for christmas. I have a giant family, and we have three children so I think this is semi-reasonable. It is kind of hard to think of 1500.00 going out the window for one day though. Does anyone think this is too much? Too little?

I really hope we can get our money under wraps. We have both set our student loans up on payment plans, and we have both addressed our credit reports. We are paying all of our bills now on time or early, and we are trying to get our past behind us financially.

We bought the kids some new books

They have at least a hundred books… but we bought them a few new ones, because they were bored with the old. I still haven’t read the new ones to them yet, because we’ve been EXTREMELY busy… However, I know they’ll love them.

I “filed” over a month ago, but because of a few situations, we weren’t able to find loopholes in Louisiana law to allow me to divorce until NOW. So, thank god my lawyer finally found a way to do it. I am so sick of being his “wife”...
