I made it through the month of August 2010 and came out $469.13 in the black!!!!! I almost lost my mind when I saw those figures and had to go back and double check because I knew I spent a lot and was over budget in a lot of areas and had even used some splurge fund money as well. The reason for still being in the black...
Read MoreOnce again I managed to come out in the black this month and it was to the tune of $317.05, despite being sidetracked by overspending at Walmart. I am sure that part of it was due to my reduced bills since I cut the cable as well but since I also sent a few snowflake payments here and there all the debits and credits have all...
Read MoreI am proud to say that I came out in the black again this February to the tune of $362.23, despite all the extra spending and debt payoffs for the month.. It could have been higher but I sent an extra snowflake payment of $555 to a credit card on top of the payment that I normally make. We got paid yesterday and my Adsense...
Read MoreIt is the end of the month and I am pleased to report that I came out in the black this month at a total of $42.20 even after all the drama. It is a little bit strange because my paycheck for this month was down by $9.30 as my withholding amount went up. I have no idea why this happened because I did not change anything but I...
Read MoreEven with the crazy Christmas spending and the unexpected bills I still managed to come out in the BLACK this December….by $27.63. Woo hoo!!!!

I am still training Money to recognize and classify some transactions but the figures for this month are more accurate than the ones for...
Read MoreToday is the last day of the month and I need to take a quick look at just where all those dollars went to. Yesterday I spent 75 cents on a pack of peanuts since I did not bring anything for lunch and I was STARVING in the office. I know that was bad because I could have gotten out of bed just 5 minutes earlier and made myself...

Read MoreI spent nothing today. I did not get any money on the floor today so that makes it an even day at zero for me. I am going to do my taxes tomorrow and file for free.
Read MoreI just pulled up my reports from Money to see what I actually spent over the last month. Apart from paying all of the regular bills which I will talk about later, I did very well with cash. I actually only spent $10 for the month which was used to get quarters for laundry. I think that was really amazing because I would...
