I agree!
I struggle with "per...Good theories! I agree!<br />I struggle with "perfection" too... like if I planned to deposit $200 into my EFund, but I only came up with $150 that month, I berate myself and feel like I failed, like what was the point, like I should just go spend that $150 instead since it was a big fat epic savings failure. It's self defeating and rather silly to think like that but that's the struggle, isn't it? Every dollar saved is worth the effort.Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01748705005786498840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2423827822739128743.post-89004432119450780722011-04-19T16:54:11.194-04:002011-04-19T16:54:11.194-04:00I'm with you on the lowered spending and reusi...I'm with you on the lowered spending and reusing, doing without etc. Last Sept. I vowed to not buy any new clothing for a year. I wouldn't have thought it was possible to train yourself NOT TO SHOP but it is indeed possible. IT WAS A HABIT AND BY NOT DOING IT I'VE BROKEN THE HABIT!! So happy about that!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803104035204416080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2423827822739128743.post-90094148821101495062011-04-19T14:56:12.500-04:002011-04-19T14:56:12.500-04:00See if everyone in a financial mess could understa...See if everyone in a financial mess could understand that budgeting is planned spending controlled by you then we wouldn't have countless experts telling us budgeting doesn't work. <br /><br />It sure does! <br /><br />Great post!Finding my Wayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07755153766216252317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2423827822739128743.post-19219736003039838352011-04-19T12:38:58.578-04:002011-04-19T12:38:58.578-04:00It's so easy to say what needs to be done and ...It's so easy to say what needs to be done and so hard to do it :) Having quit one of my part time jobs made the budget, such as it is, tighter and I'm struggling a bit with the money. I know what I need to do, find another part time job to replace the income, but doing it is much harder. Like you I have untouchable accounts and no matter what I won't dip into.Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11505670295868283874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2423827822739128743.post-33247576386741730462011-04-19T11:49:50.182-04:002011-04-19T11:49:50.182-04:00I love your comment about budgeting.

But, each month I sit down, look at the calendar and then figure out what amount is slotted where. If I have a dinner out with my friends I'll allot more to the entertainment category. If I have an upcoming birthday I'll put more money into the gift fund.<br /><br />I love being on a budget. It makes me much more accountable to reaching my goals.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15634680003897913849noreply@blogger.com
