MARCH COMPLETE!
MARCH COMPLETED! The monthly envelope budget was done over the weekend and again we made it another month living on ONE salary.... We are still stashing my income away like crazy and believe me it makes it go by much faster knowing that you have a goal in your sights.
Heres how April's budget got broken down for CASH this month (again expenses like Mortgage, Water, Electric, Cable, are being auto debited from the checking account/ this is CASH only):
GROCERIES - $320
HOUSEHOLD - $150
RESTAURANTS - $120
MEDICINE/HEALTH - $10
AUTO MAINTENANCE - $30
CLOTHING - $100
HOME IMPROVEMENT - $0
BIRTHDAYS - $25
HAIRCUTS - $45
ENTERTAINMENT - $30
I mentioned briefly in our budget meeting that this is only for the month of APRIL and doesnt mean we are going to stick to this budget every month. As we have evolved into this cash budget, I'm beginning to see a better overview of how we spend our money and how it affects our bottom line savings. Coming soon.... More Water Cooler Stories!
