I have a love/hate relations with our budget. I decided I would share some of our victories and struggles with our budget so you can see that it happens to all of us.
It is past the middle of the month and we are still friends. I realize that this might change next week as we get near the end of the month though. I am hoping we can stay on track as we are watching our grocery and extras spending budgets closely. We feel like we are doing good this month as we are following our reduce the debt plan we embarked on this month.
I was able to stay your friend earlier in the month thanks to a local children’s consignment sale and hope to finish up summer clothes shopping for the kids at the other sale’s discount day next week. Children’s clothes is an area we try to save for sure!
I will probably not be your friend when I decide to shop for a new pair of summer work sandals though and I will warn you of that now.
Here is to keeping on track again this week …

Are you friends with you budget this week? Leave us a comment and let us know!
I love this post! It is so true about the love hate relationship. This month I am close to hating my budget. I broke a tooth and had an extra dentist bill we hadn’t planed on. It took a good chunk of our emergancy fund. So it will be super tight as it gets closer to the end of the month. But that is also why we have an emergancy fund, so we don’t have to use credit cards.
Good use of your emergency fund for sure! We hope that you don’t hate your budget too much next week … let us know though, Tammy!
This reveals some good points and ideas! Thanks!
