In all seriousness, budgeting was hard the first few months. My husband and I were learning how to use a totally new system of managing our finances; we were making financial decisions about how we spent every single dollar, and we had to navigate how to “roll with the punches” that came up those first few months. My advice is: don’t be discouraged! Keep trying until you get it right, and give yourself extra grace during this time! I have a new article on the blog with over 100 budget categories that we use for our own budget! It’s loooooooooooooooooooooong, so find a time when you can settle in, maybe some coffee, hot cocoa, or wine, and check it out if you want to geek out on budgeting! Any recent budgeting wins, or financial victories? . . . . http://liketk.it/2BRCN liketkit @liketoknow.it LTKhome @liketoknow.it.home @liketoknow.it.family
