You're so disciplined. We're still looking at our budget for this month since DH quit his job. I think February will be our "first month" this year - we'll use January as an "adjustment month".
Brooke, if the truth be told, it borders on slightly obsessive/compulsive behavior!! :0
You know you don't have to pay for AOL anymore, I don't remember how you switch it, its on their site. I haven't paid since last spring!!
How do you NOT pay for AOL? I would really like to know this!!
WOW! Thanks for posting this. It is a HARSH wake-up call for me! Your mo. income runs around the same as ours, and I can now see how much $ we truely waste and have nothing to show for it! Thanks for giving me the inspiration to 'buckle down'.
Hi,
I think your savings are commendable! However, I didn't notice any mortgage/rent payment?
