We did the budget and the breakdown by pay dates and thought we were all set. And BAM!!! We messed up. We did the budget put it away did not look at again to make sure we were spending the way we agreed. It's crazy we take 2 steps forward and one step back. I budgeted 150.00 for eating out for the whole month and in the first week we spent 183.00 by going to Olive Garden, P F Changs, Mickey D's, Bakery, and Donut Shop. We are not starting the year very good but hopefully we can get it turned around very quickly. On a happier note, we are counting down until our baby girl is born. She is supposed to be here Feb 2nd, I can't wait.
I am a 14 year vet at marriage, and have 2 beautiful kids. As I gain another year closer to 40, I have started to focus on bettering myself and trying to find my passion. My goal is for this blog to serve as an accountability tool for self improvement.
