Default Re: Do You Budget?

Disneysteve you and I spend money in much the same way. I think, as you do, that the only way that this works is if you're naturally frugal. Taking the money out for savings first and then organically spending the rest with an eye on the bottom line for each purchase can work.

It was certainly enough to do when it was just myself. After I got married, it was still all right but the saving wasn't quite as aggressive. Now that we have a daughter the cushion that we enjoyed is almost gone for a number of reasons, so we may need to re-think how it's working.
