Budget

SO....after much contemplation I have decided that I need to start over in many aspects of my life. First, although I have done pretty good in the weight loss department, the last few weeks have been rough and I need to get back on track. Second, I need to start working out hardcore again because that has also been slacking. And thirdly, I need to stop spending so much money!

To help with the money situation, last Thursday, Todd helped me come up with a "budget". Now I am going to be honest here, I have never really needed a budget. But since I have moved out out on my own money has been a BIT tight. And to make matters worse I have been spending money to stay happy and spending it on the most ridiculous things! (Umm..ya, I did spend $50 on two hanging plants for my porch...I think some people are still mad at me for that one;) I never realized how much stupid things like groceries, heat and cable would add up in the end! So we sat down and figured out my budget. I wrote down everything that I spend in month and I mean everything..and yes...this number was A LOT higher than my monthly income......sooo Todd made me a new budget to follow to hopefully help me pay my bills and also potentially save.

So far I am finding it quite hard to remember to keep track of all the things that I spend money on and I am not going to lie..it is a lot things. But to make sure that I am not living on the streets in the years to come I am going to need your help....hope you weren't expecting expensive Christmas presents...JK;)
