Resolutions

I know, "nobody keeps their New Years Resolutions". But I am going to try, really try. Don't laugh, but I have not one, but two resolutions. One for myself and one for my family. The one for myself is to blog everyday, just everyday stuff. The Second resolution is actually for myself and my family and we are going on a spending diet. I am actually thinking about blogging about it here. Hmmm. Thoughts......

How do I plan on the spending diet? Spending only what I have to. Bare minimum. With a possible treat at month end, if I have managed to save a certain amount (which I have not quite figured that out). I have to work out the details which I don't have much time left but hey... I need to do something.

Why is it that when I actually sit down and put everything on paper, income vs. monthly debt I am coming out ahead. Not much, but ahead. But in real life, not so true. I swear that I feel that I am robbing peter to pay paul and I don't like that feeling at all. My plan is to have myself and Tim actually write down everything that we spend actual cash on. Those trips to Marcs or to Citgo for milk, bread, etc, and maybe we can figure out where we are going wrong.

Wish me luck! I think I may need it.

Til next time.............. k
