I love February! Not only is it my birthday month, but it's a short month and that makes it seem easier to stick to the budget. Those 3 days sometimes make a world of difference. I'm starting to pull together our numbers and see how we did sticking to our February budget. This is our 2nd month for having the budget and we are definitely improving. The biggest overage for this month? I can already tell that it was our trip to see family and sports expenses for the kids. I'll know more details by Sunday when I finalize the numbers. But, I'm encouraged by what I'm seeing today. Also...this was our first month back on cash and using the envelope system! Huge improvement. A few things went on the credit card, such as utilities that get billed directly to it and also gasoline. (It's just easier to swipe the card than to go inside to pay cash for gas).
More to follow. Also, we had a nice sized income tax return. More about that later and how we'll apply it!!!
