What a Bad Month...

January 14th, 2008 at 06:41 pm

...and it's not even half over.

Took a quick peek at the bank account this morning, and I'm a digit less than I thought I was. But HOW?!

Digging through my transaction history, I realized that I have an abnormally large amount of atypical purchases this month. Don't ask me if they were non-necessary purchases - I refuse to delve into THAT kind of thinking. =)

On top of that, Dallas lost last night. I don't know what that has to do with anything financially, but it didn't help things, that's for sure.

On the up-side, I did stash away an extra couple hundred for the EF this month.

Anyways, looks like I'm going into super frugal mode for at least the next two weeks. Bring on the rice and beans.

    I can relate to both the need to be extra frugal and the Cowboys loss. I almost wore a black armband today but decided that even though this is prime Cowboy fan territory, that might be overkill. Wink

    Wow, thats a big oops! Maybe you need a more visual type of money management? Where you keep a written account of what you have in a notebook, budget or on a chalkboard or something. Seeing is believing!
