For us, it has just become a habit and as we don't spend a lot of money it doesn't take us (Kevin) long to put it into the computer.

(http://20yrsfromnow.blogspot.com)<br /><br />Although I've only been doing it 6 short weeks, one side-effect I didn't expect is that momentary hesitation when I evaluate and then re-evaluate the purchase. I ask myself if we really need this, and is it worth the cost. Surprised by my new sense of frugality, I had to wonder where that came from and realized I'm basically just lazy! :)<br /><br />Writing down every single purchase in the ledger to keep track takes time, and there are so many other, more exciting things I'd rather do. Like walking on the beach for example...and it's FREE!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-16643764534063349792012-12-02T06:20:40.559-05:002012-12-02T06:20:40.559-05:00Thanks for your comment on my web-page/blog/travel...Thanks for your comment on my web-page/blog/travel journal. You can't imagine how thrilling it is to finally get a comment! <br />I'm going to make a note of your website and continue to follow your adventures. Also , I might have some questions you could answer about RV storage. If I am interpreting correctly what you have written, you've left your unit stored at Valle de Juarez, correct? This seems like something I might consider.Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07004288255366589956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-87814594123416837932012-12-01T21:44:22.322-05:002012-12-01T21:44:22.322-05:00Nice budget.

We rescued them from the animal shelter when they were 8 & 12 weeks old. Longtime friends! We have had some of the same vet bills with the female as she has gotten older. Beyond the kitty talk would love to see a below $1000 expense month. My taxes & insurance are that much, sad, sad, sad.<br /><br />rocmoc n AZ/MexicoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-80386336672424589102012-12-01T11:33:15.554-05:002012-12-01T11:33:15.554-05:00The second budget post in two days, plus the fact ...The second budget post in two days, plus the fact that today's the first of the month, has inspired me to dutifully keep track of my expenses.
