Drama. Drama.--Dec. 31, 2011) happened, I'm fairly certain that whoever had my billfold would have taken any cash I had in it if I'd had it in it. Thankfully, my cash holder looks nothing like something that would hold cash; otherwise, I think it would have been gone. PHEW!<br /><br />I was really sweatin' it that day.

Since my husband only gets paid monthly, my mind automatically went to a monthly budget kind of thing but maybe your idea of a weekly budget would work well or could at least be adapted to work in our situation here. Would you be willing to share details of how it works for you?

So I moved to a weekly budget and that is working so much better for me because it is easier for me to predict our expenses one week at a time. I am glad that you are finding something that you can stick too. I never understood how much a big family costs until I had one.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05410224281751216152noreply@blogger.com
