October new beginning

October 2nd, 2006 at 11:31 pm

I am actually excited to be working on budget this month. My son and daughter-in-law have been working on their debt by using the envelope system. While I have a lot of automatic payments I am using a envelope based system with my Excel program. I did not fill up the car with gas but only put in $30.00 which is what I had alloted for gas using this system. Normally, I would just fill the tank and not even think about the cost. It nice to see where our paychecks will be going instead of the ramdom spending we normally do.

    When gas was a little higher I was doing something similar. I had $40 allocated for gas and would just put in $20 increments. Now that I can fill the tank with less than $40, I go ahead and fill it but keep the dollars in a special place in my wallet in case I need it before I get paid again. If I get paid again and it hasn't been spent, it goes into a special jar to save for months when I have to do a lot of driving. At least that's the plan.
