BUDGET TIME

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??

A Happy Day!

Today is the day....along with my twin sister, Teresa, we are celebrating our 48th birthday! Or, as she likes to say, it is the 27th anniversary of our 21st birthday! LOL!!


Does anyone else share a birthday with us? What about a June birthday? If you do, let me know and I'll give you a shout out on this blog!!!


It is hot, Hot, HOT here today. I was hoping for some rain, but it doesn't look like Mother Nature is going to cooperate. Oh well, that's okay. I have some clothes hung on the clothesline, and the sight of drying clothes always lifts my spirits.


Have a wonderful day, everyone!!
