Re: Do You Budget?
Well, I budget but in a different way than most!! I take 100% of our income for the month and break it down to 70% to live off of. This goes to pay bills, groceries, eat out, etc, etc.!! When that 70% is gone, i'm done for that month! I save 30%.
This may sound odd to some but it works for us. It kinda gives me more freedom and I don't feel deprived. I have one lump sum that we live off of for that month and I know that I have to pay my house payment and everything that it takes for us to survive on that 70%. Then the 30% I stick into savings and don't see it or touch it unless i NEED to for emergencies. It works for us!
