Question about these updates.

And feel free to tell me to F off. I'm just curious, is this budget an arbitrary thing you guys set up? Or is money really that tight that when you say in the red you are literally in the red?

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
      - that's really nice and thoughtful of you. :) - -- nm - b. Nov 25, 12:51 1
        
        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
