Have you noticed that the exact opposite happens with spending?..as in I think I only spent about $200 in Niagara Falls but when the credit card bill comes in it'll be more like $500??

But I keep dreaming . . . .<br /><br />Usually there's nothing extra after we make all the payments, but a couple of times the plan has not only worked but there's been extra. It doesn't happen very often, but it's always a sweet surprise!Laurahttp://thinnerandwiser.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809809639444040308.post-24154869406051223392012-05-26T14:53:46.327-07:002012-05-26T14:53:46.327-07:00Count me among the dreamers!

In a way, I guess that's a good thing because it constantly reminds me to pay attention and not let things slide in the wrong direction. You have a lot on your plate and medical issues on top of that. There's only so much a gal can do! Hang in there ;)<br /><br />SarahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809809639444040308.post-81150053417499001302012-05-26T14:13:56.768-07:002012-05-26T14:13:56.768-07:00I do the same thing!

I always seem to have more plans for my money than actual money coming in (or it usually comes in but something breaks down or there is some other unexpected expense and all of the "extra" money I thought I would have suddenly evaporates). At least you are making some progress each month so dont beat yourself up about it--you're doing great!Cash Only Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13658816214856647685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809809639444040308.post-9944045991231721202012-05-26T11:56:41.809-07:002012-05-26T11:56:41.809-07:00That happened to me all fall Kim.

I know that you work very hard but expecting superwoman effort every single day and every paycheck isn't fair to yourself. I learned that I had to pare it back to what one woman with only 2 hands can do. There is a perfect budget on paper and then there is real life. Some days superwoman and somedays just woman. <br />Don't be hard on yourself as you can't work flat out 24 hours a day. <br /><br />Maybe make 2 budgets: "Perfect World" and "Worst Case/Plan B". The second one based upon the minimums. <br />You are already so far ahead of where you were when you started blogging!<br />Enjoy your time in the yard, so relaxing puttering in the flowers!B-Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11235470014295888935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809809639444040308.post-9451097804792294752012-05-26T09:48:11.979-07:002012-05-26T09:48:11.979-07:00I am a powerful dreamer as well.

Dave Ramsey say's it's 10% head knowledge and 90% behavior. I make a budget every month, but then real life happens and it turns into a free-for-all. Keep your eye on the prize and together we will get there.Loren A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10773396733725857037noreply@blogger.com
