I admit that I don’t even want to look at a budget. But since I’m not working full time (currently on call with school district as tutor) – so I should probably get with the program.

Little people are expensive, aren’t they?

Good for you to be taking control of your finances as well. I hope this series sparks some ideas for you! Glad to have you aboard – thanks for your comment:)

We are doing the same thing at our house. We used Quicken (the free online version) since it automatically downloads all your bank and credit card transactions. Then you can put them in categories–groceries, mortgage, utilities etc.

We thought we were pretty frugal, too, so it was enlightening to see where all our money was going. Now we are taking steps to cut down on some of the extraneous costs.

We couldn’t pay off a mortgage with what we bring in (I only work 30 hours a week and my husband is starting a new business, plus our 1 and 2.5 year-olds are kind of pricey for such small people;) )

Looking forward to reading the rest of the posts.
