Default Re: Do You Budget?

Lonewolf and mbhunter - thanks for posting and letting me know I'm not the only one who works this way. I just find it difficult to explain to others.

We also charge as much as possible to the credit cards and pay them off in full each month. Our 2006 charges were about $32,000. I'll be getting the year-end statements shortly.

And yes, we will tighten the belt a bit when spending is a little heavy for some reason. But we do all that based on an "internal calculator", not a written spending plan.
