Yup. Another pay period, another budget – and I almost forgot to post this too.
A few changes were made. First, I am no longer responsible for the cable/internet bill. the Boyfriend has decided to take that on as his utility – mainly because the combined amount of the cell phone bill, water/trash/sewage, and electrical bills [...]

I know – there is a little explaining to do on this budget. First, I am sorry this post is so late. With finals and whatnot, I haven’t had time to post anything really. Plus, I am not really deviating from my budget a whole lot, so ya. Second, I need to explain where the extra [...]

WOWOWOW. My first budget for ‘09.Sweet – and a relatively easy one at that. I had some extra fundage come my way because of the holidays, so I was able to save more than I expected – which is good, cause the next couple of pay periods are not looking so hot. Ugh. Well, here goes [...]

Day One, Week 1:Today is payday. Woot! A cool $975.00. Since I stupidly forgot my lunch today, I went over to Subway and bought a meal = $9.41. Ugh. I won’t even start how frustrated I am with that – anyways! With this paycheck, I need to allocate funds for the following expenses:

I am not a morning person – let me get that out of the way first. I have always had to get up early because I have always worked; however, I hit the snooze on my alarm probably 6 times every morning. I just can’t get out of my warm bed at 6:30am – it [...]

When forming my budget and reviewing my spending, I had to decide what my true weaknesses are – what I will always spend money on without even blinking. I did this because those are the areas where I wanted to do the most reigning in. I made 2 lists:
The first consisted of what I thought [...]

Budgeting is the hardest things I have ever done. Last week was the first time I have ever done a hardcore budget and it is proving more difficult to stick to then I thought.
