She’s Baaaack!

By Suburban Wife | Published: December 12, 2009
Yup.  Here I am.  The prodi­gal Sub­ur­ban Wife returns. I’ve really missed post­ing.  I’ve really missed bud­get­ing.  I really miss YNAB [http://www.ynab.com].  Jesse has promised to release YNAB3 before the end of the year.  There aren’t that many days left before the end of the year.  They’ll be busy, hec­tic, and slightly expen­sive days but, still, [...]

By Suburban Wife | Published: November 30, 2007
Ninety days!  Wow, who’d a’ thunk it — that I would have the stick-to-it-iveness to bore you all with every minute detail of my daily $$ expen­di­tures for three whole months? As usual, I’ll list the money I spent today but then I’ll also list the house­hold bills that The Hus­band him­self took care of through­out [...]

By Suburban Wife | Published: November 20, 2007

Day 14

By Suburban Wife | Published: September 15, 2007
The Home Depot — $87.25 First trip — wait­ing to hear from the handy­man so we can fig­ure out which jack ham­mer I should rent. While wait­ing, I nat­u­rally shopped around and found a few things I just had to have. Tools: rake, square “trans­fer” shovel”, and an inex­pen­sive, sim­ple elec­tric trimmer/edger. Con­sum­ables: Revive lawn con­di­tioner [...]
