Thought about it — 3 days ago
I will have to do what I wrote last week, that I will pull out all the money for my misc expenses so I can see it and know once it’s gone there is no more. Wish me luck

I would eventually like to get out of Golden…so I need to start saving. With this budget (and it’s a tight one….) I can save $150 a month and can possibly move out by September or October.
I have set up my budget and now I dont know if I should pull out the money Ive budgeted for my misc. expenses, (nails, tanning, gym, gas, dry cleaning, etc.)?? I feel if I dont take the money out, that I’ll over spend on these items, (like I do now) and if I have an envelope for gas, for food, for etc. then Ill stay within my limit, (my budget). Not sure which will work.

I will make myself a budget. Pay my mum back and save the rest…
Starting today… my weekly allowance is 50 GBP

I had a meeting with a banker and everything. Loan payments are scarey but I think I am ready to face the music!
Chenoa is being cautiously optimistic for now :)
..I’m broke again! I’m out of money barely a week later! Is there an Olympic event for spending money? I’d win gold, hands down :D
I’m working on Day 8 of the Simple Dollar’s “31 Days to fix your finances” and it’s not going easy. Prolly coz I get paid on a project basis, rather than a monthly salary (that’s my own fault tho’). Going to discuss matters with the boss and see if I can pick up a research project or something to do for the summer… Meanwhile, must live within my means, dang it!
I’ve come up with a budget, now I should be able to stick to it… I plan to start this 4/30/08!!

We’ve made a new budget, talked it to death, and have clear goals in mind so we can afford to move to the Yukon next year. This might just work!!

Right now, I’m just working my way through the 31 days to fix your finances suggestions.
