Day 121: Clothing
I actually didn’t spend a penny today. But The Daughter went shopping with my mom and she ended up finding a number of items she’d been wanting to find — and some good bargains to boot. Since her clothing allowance comes in the form of a budget category instead of cold hard cash, I did [...]
Plans and Goals for 2008
Tomorrow is the first day of a new year and I’m excited about some of my financial and budgeting goals and resolutions.
Goals:
YNAB Budget
December marks the third full month of using my YNAB Pro Budgeting Software* and I’m excited to get a fresh new start tomorrow. Instead of rolling over my 2007 data into 2008, The Husband [...]
Maintenance Monday: Your Couch and Spare Change
Sorry for the late posting today — I’d meant to post my Maintenance Monday article earlier in the day but I got tied with with my lasagna and iced apple cake.
If you’re new to my blog, Maintenance Monday is a regular “column” of sorts in which I share a maintenance tip. I am of the [...]
Day 120: Food and Charity

Day 118: Groceries
Today I figured that as long as I’d done all that work to dig out The Tank last night, I might as well run to Kroger and replenish our milk supply
This purchase wiped out the very last of my $200. worth of Kroger gift cards I bought from The Daughter’s school just before [...]
Day 117: Another No-Spend Day
It snowed and snowed and snowed. All day long. We’ve run out of milk, chocolate milk, and tortillas — but none of those were worth going out into the snow and cold for.
