I just did our yearly where did the money go and all I can say is I am in shock. I don't have much to say other then I am in total shock. if you have never done this maybe it's time to sit down and track your MAIN every day life stuff. with saying that I am talking about
Mortgage/rent
Car loans
Power
Cable
Phone
Insurances not paid out of your paycheck
Food
education
sports/music/art etc that is something you do all year long
and whatever else you may have but only count the stuff in which you can't live without. Yes Lady's we can live without getting our hair cut every few weeks so that doesn't count in this fee
Take your yearly income and start minus-ing your MAIN bills and see how much money you would of had left had it not been just so easily tossed out with those fast food restaurants (Brown bag it).
I have been doing this for the past few years but this year I think another one of those growing things happened and now I am bothered by what I see.
In total shock still. I challenge you all to do this. it's something GOOD to see might help ya.
