Money Woes
- Wednesday, January 02, 2008
Well, it's that time of the year again. That time where we are all broke thanks to the holidays and we are coming up on tax time. I'm not sure if we will get anything back this time since my husband was working for cash which we will have to claim. I hope I'm wrong.
I suppose I should come up with a strict budget and stick to it. It's so hard though with almost all costs rising. As soon as you set a price of $100 for the weekly grocery budget, the true cost becomes $125 or $150. And as it is, my budget is pretty bare bones until you count my shopping and my husband's beer expenditures.
So, obviously that's what we need to cut out. I am planning to start taking bellydancing classes next Tuesday & that will have to be my fitness & entertainment budget for a while. The class is only one night a week but I plan to try to work out with videos at home a couple times a week as well to supplement. I guess that might be one of the cheaper hobbies I could have.
Well, I will work up a budget & see what we truly need to spend. I have to attempt to be even more frugal than I am. I guess I need to trade in TJMaxx for the Goodwill store. Sigh...
