Manage my money better

This is coming together  — 2 days ago

We’re really getting things under control from the transient we had last year when kid #2 came along. In another month I think everything will be in the groove, and I’ll be able to mark this done.

Getting back to it  — 4 weeks ago

About a year ago my wife and I sat down over a weekend and did this whole 31 Days to Fix Your Finances in a weekend. Then baby #2 came along on Tuesday, and it all fell by the wayside.

Now we’re getting back to it, but actually going about it in 31 days. So we just did day 2 tonight. I think we’re going to go through it once a year, just to touch up.

I want to be able to budget my money better and not live from one pay check to another

ugh, money  — 2 months ago

123 euros in my bank account and I need to pay my 160e+ (?) debts plus have some spending money in Tampere and in Stockholm.

Did I mention I have no income and I’m too embarrassed to ask my parents for money since I’ve been so awful lately? :c Yay. :< Well, I have to, eventually.

I visited the employment office today and I could get some sort of unemployment support or something if I had saved my receipts of my old salary checks and I could prove that I have worked at least 18 hours a week for 10 months straight in the past 28 months.

I hate bureaucracy.

I have to get some boring job in this boring town. :< I’ve always worked but this time I was looking forward to spending a month at my parents doing nothing and then hopefully moving somewhere warm to work as a rep.

Well, soon I won’t have to worry about managing my money since I won’t have any of it to manage. :P Why did I spend so much money on shopping in February?

I have got to crack this one.  — 2 months ago

We re-mortgaged late last year and managed to pay off virtually all of our debts. When I was still drinking I was being pretty irresponsible with money and scarily spending about £300 a month on alcohol.

Now I really want to get tight reigns on our spending. If I’m to have any chance of going back to work part time after my maternity leave.

I go through phases of writing things down (money-wise) and then I get frustrated. I can manage other people’s money just fine (work) but not my own. How does that work?

I never know when bills are due or when billing cycles are. I have to get on this, including paying my bills on time (I don’t even have that many!) and know when my billing and statement cycles are. Maybe I should get a big calendar and post it on the wall? Write a budget for six months at a time?
