get control of my finances

The John Commuta system was good but being unemployed cut into my ability to follow it. I am not trying a new system I created based on listening to lots of different programs. I keep a notebook where I record any income I receive. I write down the amount and then I write down the amount I need to pay towards my tithes, savings, and debt (all 10%). I use the rest to immediately pay any bills instead of waiting until they are due. Its working so far. 4 months ago
