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 [...]
Stop Spending My Money, Mom
Wednesday evening, while The Son was busying playing his cello in orchestra rehearsal, I ran a couple of errands. The hardwood floor store didn’t have what I was looking for and I still had about 45 minutes to kill so I stopped in the Marshalls down the street. I needed to return that pair of “swish” pants.

This was my first whole [...]
I’m fat, dumb, and happy — and unhappy about it
Late last week in the wake of our What if Daddy Were Rich conversation, The Husband and I were discussing budgets. I’d been a bit reluctant to tell him about the YNAB* program I’d bought and was trying to learn to use because I knew he’d write it off as another wild hare I was [...]
YNAB Budgeting Software - Update & Categories
Update on my YNAB Purchase
A week ago last Thursday (Day 40) I purchased and downloaded the You Need a Budget* budgeting software.

I’d call myself fairly technically inclined [...]
