david & I are trying to work on our money issues. I am as always looking for something to post on here that i can make money (ie, paid blogging) but I haven’t really came across anything lately that I have been able to do. I tried the freelance writing but honestly i have writers block. so bascially we have came up with (or let me be more specific..my parents told me how they used to have to do their money) a budget
what we are going to TRY to do is save back half the costs of each of our major bills out of each check. we have rounded high on some of the bills that aren’t the same month to month (like power bill) at the end of the month if theres money left over we put it in either our MISC envelope or our savings envelope. we are also saving back 10% of his check for savings, and keeping back 100 each check for gas and extras.
the money left in the bank can just be used as spotter money…and it can be used for the savings /misc (groceries,etc as we see fit)
i honestly believe this will help us, but this check i HAD to go to the grocery store. and i spent a little more than i usually do, and we still need a few things. plus he came home 2hrs early friday so we were short from the get go. so i think we will have to skew things a little bit.
i think that the best thing to do is to go ahead and pay the 2 credit card bill and sattelite bill, get what we need at the store, take away his debit card…only get gas/ what we honestly need and then whatevers left (should be basically what we would have used anyways) we can divide up for the bulky bills.
not much with me. sat/sun i didnt have the blackberry so i wasnt online… monday i cleaned the house and wasn’t online andi started the most god awlful period yesterday so i wasn’t online lol.
i really appreciate everyone still comes by and comments even though i’m slack. it means alot!!
