Here we go. 5 days to go in the month, and we're $164 in the black. We should make it easily, but......

maybe $80 in groceries and $20 in gas on Sunday. *Really* shouldn't be anything else for the month.

if we finish in the black for November, we're up at least $99 for the year

Question about these updates. - sycor Nov 25, 12:36 12
- It's just relative to the budget we've decided on. (I go on and on inside) - prayformojo Nov 25, 12:46 10
  - oh yah, tracking is the first step I always recommend to anyone looking to have a better handle - b. Nov 25, 12:50 1
    - I maintain a spreadsheet at work that goes out several months to help me gage how a purchase will affect the long run. -- (edited) - sycor Nov 25, 12:52
  - That's cool. I need to get a little more serious about my budgeting. And I'm glad the red isn't as severe as I was imagining. -- nm - sycor Nov 25, 12:48 4
    - no, didn't mean to imply that -- nm - prayformojo Nov 25, 12:49 3
      - It was probably me over thinking it than you. I miss a lot of posts so I'm sure it was explained before I just missed it. - sycor Nov 25, 12:50 2

        Thanks. I know I don't participate much a lot of time. But this place is pretty awesome and I do like most of you. - sycor Nov 25, 12:53
  - it really is good practice, i should do this. -- nm - Andie Nov 25, 12:46 2
    - It was such a pain when we tried to do this locally on Excel - Google spreadsheets makes it so much easier - prayformojo Nov 25, 12:48 1
      - We use Goodbudget, which is a glorified spreadsheet for our stuff. - spamlet Nov 25, 12:55

$99? Have you heard of this new site called Fan Duel? -- nm - David Nov 25, 12:28 1
- Doesn't sound like something I'd want to sign up for, unless there was a code to promote it - prayformojo Nov 25, 12:31
