Ravin Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Okay, after reading Financial Peace, I worked up a budget, to start at the beginning of Nov. So far, we're doing great! I even stayed in my budget when I went clothes shopping at the Veteran's Day sale at Saver's yesterday. Mind you, I wanted to spend the entire $20 I had with me, but part of that was supposed to be for lunch and $10 was what I'd budgeted for clothes for the month. So even though I found about 10 cute dresses for DD for $2 each and 3 items I wanted for myself, I limited us to 1 item each (including a pair of pants for DH, which is what I actually went looking for). The next day, I think staying in my budget feels a lot better than having those other items would have. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeaganS Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Way to go! It took us about 2 months before we were really used to staying on budget, but it does feel wonderful. Now I'm wishing we had done it earlier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
