The summer has just flown by and September is now here. Where has the time gone? It has been a very rough summer for us. Hubby was laid off in late June and that sent panic throughout my entire brain. I felt like that robot on the old television show, Lost in Space, that goes running around in circles yelling, "Danger, Will Robinson!" That's what I wanted to do....go around with my budget book yelling, "Danger! No Money!"
Hubby eventually went back to work in August, but after about 4 weeks, he has been laid off again. Hopefully it will only be for about 2 weeks, but, still....2 weeks. On unemployment pay. I am most definitely having to re-learn how to make a dime go where a dollar should. This is making for a major brain strain.
I have gotten lax in the past few years and have strayed away from the budget system that I really like: The Envelope Budgeting system. I'm not hawking anyone's particular product, but when it comes to budgeting, Dave Ramsey's envelope system is the absolute easiest and best system out there. I am going to implement that system again and hopefully, if I am able to stick with it, I will have positive results.
What system do you use to budget your money??
