[QUOTE="DDD, post: 114405, member: 35"] I think it's great you are trying to get a realistic handle on your finances. My personal choice that has made any budget doable ( at least for awhile lol) is to not have money available to easily grab. I keep an "emergency bill" tucked away in a compartment in my wallet. I use a debit card for all my trips to the grocery store etc. I own way too many cards but I only carry two...one for gasoline/auto and one for other purchases that are needed. Somehow I am just NOT mature enough to carry cash around and keeping track of how it disappeared. It's kinda like having candy/cookies in sight. If they are there I want some...if they are stored away, I don't think about it. Good luck. Four of our six adult children have learned from our mistakes and have done an outstanding job of living within their means and building security for their future. We were always playing "catchup" and are just thankful that we are not in debt up to our ears. DDD [/QUOTE]
