I finished updating the ledger book.
Still having trouble inputting every or every other day. I see where it would be advantageous for me to do. Because when I don't (like, always), I forget about doing it. And then, I disconnect from my financial reality and I spend and spend and spend money.
Then, when I finally sit down to catch up, about once a month, I fill with shock and disgust at how much money I've spent in the last month (the main non-necessities culprits are yarn and "celebration" food or books...I'm learning that I am someone who finds many things in life worth celebrating...)
But, the cycle needs to be broken!
I'm meeting with my dad, my teacher, the day before Thanksgiving. The homework I'm giving myself till then, is to input every day. This what I have been working on doing for a bunch of months. I have a feeling he's going to have me move onto the next step soon, which will be developing a budget based on our working numbers.
That's going to be tough. But, what's really going to suck is adjusting to living within a budget in 2009.
Gotta keep my eyes on the prize, though, keep my eyes on the prize...

Well - it's certainly good to find things to celebrate! But I know what you mean about treating yourself. If you love to knit - is there any place you could sell your scarves? Like I did with my little bags?
I am so flattered...but I don't think I could sell scarves...
