Budget With Me Wednesday-Week 2

Hi Friends!

Happy Wednesday!  As promised I'm here with a brief update on my budgeting (snore, I know).

This week has worked out better than I expected!  The $10 a day rule is not that hard to stick with!  The hard part for me is the groceries, it's really easy to spend a lot at the grocery store when I get really inspired to bake something for you lovely people!

However, for the time being I'm focusing on the $10 a day.  I was surprised that at the end of the week I actually had $30 left! (including that days $10).  I thought that this was going to be super limiting for me, but so far it has been nothing of the sort!  It's been really great to get me on track with the spending!

Also, I've been keeping up with TheBirdy.com, it's been great to see how much I'm spending, just part of the slow process to change my habits.

Have you made any changes?  I would love to hear about them!

  1. That is so awesome! I'm still waiting until I can move home and I have an income again (curse you, unpaid internships), but I'm planning on really cracking down on how much I eat at restaurants.

  3. Hello1 I'm a recent follower of your blog, and I just wanted to say hi! I like your budgeting idea, and I'm glad you shared it here. I know I need to be better about having a budget! And I like the $10 a day idea! I wonder how much I'd have left at the end... :)
