I absolutely love Dave Ramsey; That is my goal; to get some of the small bills out of the way, so I can free up some extra $$ for savings!A.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06106004037607712134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3930079577671183880.post-64949605237949603102009-11-08T05:19:35.218-08:002009-11-08T05:19:35.218-08:00I am trying hard to spend cash, but it is tough.

I find that when hubs has his card on him, he still spends more than if he just had cash. That is why I insist that he treat it more like a credit card, and use it sparingly! :)<br /><br />I love new followers, Midday Escapades: Welcome! I am going to blog about easy-to-use budgets soon, so hopefully you'll find the info helpful. I know that I am always searching for a better way to budget!A.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06106004037607712134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3930079577671183880.post-61244047510536897952009-11-07T17:54:02.827-08:002009-11-07T17:54:02.827-08:00I remember reading about this method way back when...I remember reading about this method way back when. I bet it works really well, IF you are disciplined and stick to it. That is where I might have some trouble. I am guilty of not using a budget either. Let's say I am financially challenged.

Whatever we bring in a month goes right to bills also, and there just never quite seems to be enough!A.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06106004037607712134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3930079577671183880.post-51225754957713590602009-11-03T21:55:43.627-08:002009-11-03T21:55:43.627-08:00I will be honest, I haven't gotten this down y...I will be honest, I haven't gotten this down yet, but my mom has used this method for many many years. Everything we have is directly deposited, and unfortunately immediately spent on bills. It is a goal, though!Frugal Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14215233645206729306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3930079577671183880.post-69954009928049879902009-11-02T07:12:15.304-08:002009-11-02T07:12:15.304-08:00I totally can relate; I am going to try harder thi...I totally can relate; I am going to try harder this month to not overspend. The good news is that I paid another $150 towards our debt and added another $300 to the savings. YAY! <br /><br />I could put more to the debt, but I really need some more $$ in our short-term emergency fund. That will help us stay out of debt in the long run (I hope!) :)A.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06106004037607712134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3930079577671183880.post-54315468971718785602009-11-01T19:37:49.793-08:002009-11-01T19:37:49.793-08:00Yeah, I stick all my money into envelopes and mail...Yeah, I stick all my money into envelopes and mail it to the bill center! LOL! Just kidding. I think using cash for everything is still the best way to keep track of spending. We use debit cards, but I keep a daily track of spending and budget. Okay, I keep blowing it lately, but it should work in theory.Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042143254001890567noreply@blogger.com
