Re: What are your budget categories?
Depends, I wrote on my blog I don't budget. It just hasn't clicked unfortunately for me. I'm a non-budgeter who struggles with trying to budget. I personally find it easier to live within my pre-determined means. What I mean is things are line item for me like taxes, mortgage, retirement, college savings, then I spend the rest on fun. If the money isn't there for fun, I don't spend it. But everything else is taken care of first.
But I'm going to try again for 2007. It means probably weaning DH off the CC, so I don't know if it'll fly. I tried to pay cash for dinner last night, but he said it's all one pot what does it matter? For him money is all one pot.
