stick to a budget

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!

..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!!

I found The Simple Dollar through Leo Babauta’s Zen Habits

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