Had another pretty low key day off. Didn’t do much except figure out the rest of the spending for the month, which was a win.
We have a budget! We’re going to keep it! Or…rather, we’re going to keep TRACK of it, anyway. Budgets are hard to stay within, for sure, and it’s less about the precision of staying perfectly within its limits, and more about consistently tracking spending and income. It’s the consistent check-in that makes all the difference. It makes the over-spending drop like a rock.
We haven’t had to do that in recent years, keep such a close eye on things, but we’re going to now. And, man. It makes me feel better. The hardest part was setting up the system. Now, I feel like I can maintain it. Make sure we keep saving.
Need to rock it tomorrow. Wish me luck.
Night night.
