Wow. Thank goodness the first month is just our see how much we actually spend month... and there aren't any harmful penalties for spending more than $1000 (other than the guilt). Figuring out where to cut back next month is going to be reeeeaaaalllllyyyy important. Yikes.
Day 15 Balance: $-511.12
the "where is everything going" month is a HUGE eye opener. We stick to our budget fairly well but every so often we will go on a spending break. Taking the month off from all frills- it is difficult but it is a good for refocusing on why we budget and we find the budget easier after the month of nessecities only.
