This is my journey back from broke. And about staying unbroke, even
on the days I want to splurge. Afterall, no one ever called pickles a necessity!

Sad Day ~ Readjusting the Budget
When I printed off my budget for May, I officially had to adjust it.
I now allot myself $120 per month for fuel. Considering my commute is less than 3 miles each way, that was sort of a depressing adjustment.
Let's hope that will be enough!
Okay - I promise to quit posting...I really shouldn't read all your posts in one sitting!
Feel good about that $120.00 fuel budget my friend. My budget for fuel is $800.00 per month for both vehicles. That is on a good month when we limit the running around. I try not to go to town on the weekends if it all possible - which of course the kid claims limits her social life!
Now I'm depressed.
BTW - the reason I'm over here reading all your awesome posts is due to my own budget overhaul - hoping to find some golden nuggets of advice. And as usual you have them in abundance. Awesome writing....if you don't have a book deal soon it is only because you need more publicity.
Thanks G! How did the budget overhall go? With everything up there shut down for flooding you have all sorts of time to sit around and crunch numbers. (Hmmm...maybe it could be a summer project for Toots....)
