So yeah, I said March 1 would be the kick-off date for keeping a log of what I spend daily. I also said sometime back in Jan and probably Feb that I would track my food intake (boy, I have the worse memory ever). Well, um, you see....it's Day 3 and I haven't found the perfect spreadsheet. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
Actually I did just find a decent daily log that I can customize til my heart's content. Hmmm, now if only I can find the receipts from Monday and yesterday.

So here goes nothing (why is "Send in the Clowns" playing on my iTunes station - and a horrible version at that? Wait. Is there a good version?). Ok Ok - back to the point.
Spending to Date:
Food: $7.40
Parking: $24 (it rained on Monday and I have a meeting after work tonight).
Household: $30 (the record cabinet I've committed to and will pick up after my meeting this evening. Did I mention that it's vintage and in MINT condition?)
Somewhere, somehow I will break this habit. Maybe a talking bobble head of Dolph Lundgren saying "I must break you" a la Rocky IV will help. Hmmm, running to ebay to see if there's one for sale. Kidding! Maybe

Keep account really helps. Good luck my dear.
Being on a budget is kind of like going on a diet-all you think about is what you can't have. LOL! Sorry, but for me, that's how it seems. It is a good idea to write things down so you know where you might be able to cut back.
I know I sound as if I'm whining, but dang it...being accountable for my $ is a BIG problem for me. If I'm not spending it on clothes I don't need, I'm spending it on calories I don't need. But there is hope on the horizon. The weather is changing which means more outdoor activities, less reasons to stay inside eating or shopping.
At least I am not in the situation I was 2 months ago (robbing Peter and Paul to pay Jack, Jill and Rudy).
I've wasted a tonne of time looking for templates that fit my needs, but in the end, making my own was the only way that worked. Good luck, at least you're giving this serious thought and your intentions are clearly very honorable!
