That old standby – money

I wish I had something more profound to post about today.  My mind, however, is being consumed by my budget.  I’ve been thinking about it nearly all day.  I thought of a new way to visualize and predict future budgets, and implemented that today.  It has been good, but it has been a huge brain- and time-sink.  I finally got to a point where I can take all my work home to share with SkepToad, and now I feel like I need to just decompress for a while.

I can say this… no more credit card purchases!  We’re actually not in debt, but paying for things nearly a month after buying them is screwing up the budgeting process.  So, no more credit cards for a while at least.  And if we pinch pennies now we’ll be much happier come winter, when I’m sure we’ll have to make adjustments again.  But at least we’ll have more of a cushion.
