It's August 29th and we're at $543.47...oops. We made it so so so close! The budget for August was a bit of a guess, because we had spent half of August in my hometown and then in Vegas for our honeymoon. We didn't get a chance to buy groceries as soon as we had intended (which is why we grabbed Wendy's...just the once). I had also forgotten about our Netflex subscription when I was putting 'the plan' together - so we'll have to account for the next month.
This is the closest that we've come to sticking to a spending goal with the credit card and I'm hopeful we'll be able to stay true to 'the plan' for September-November and stick to a $700/month budget for gas and groceries.
I'm sure will stay true to your plan. You can do this together!
ReplyDeleteI believe you can do it. Most of the big stuff is out of the way now so you should be able to focus better.
