15-minute challenge goal...
7 months ago
...let’s see how far I can get in the next 15 minutes, starting right now.
Update @4pm:
Arrgghh. This is painful. I know I spent more than 15 minutes, but it was spent on more decluttering on my desktop. Haven’t really got to the expense-tracking yet.
How can I reframe that positively? I spent over 15 minutes on further de-cluttering on my desktop, to further my goal of expense tracking. It was hard and painful, but I did it. I’m not done, but I’ve at least taken one or two baby steps.

No excuses, no whining. I just didn’t get it done tonight.

No expenses for 1-31-2008
One key thing about charting your expenses is to reconcile your cash on hand every month against what you reported.
A perusal of January reveals that I had $21.85 unaccounted for.
For me, that is excellent. I will continue doing this. I read in another financial blog that tracking your expenses is mandatory. Thanks gang, for getting me involved in this!
Maybe I'll revisit this in March.

My tracking involves other members of my family. I need to tighten this up a bit and be more systematic. It was satisfying to see other people’s progress on this goal. Kudos to New Isabella, Kellgo, and ToddieM for their diligence and, hopefully, profitable progress!
