So with the holidays, packing, move, getting ready for Chandler....you know, my latest excuses for not doing things I'm supposed to...keeping track of our finances fell on the back burner. I usually keep everything written in a notebook and then I started keeping an excel spreadsheet. Well, both got neglected. So this week I've gone back through January & February and made a fancy shmancy new spreadsheet. I also plan on keeping up a home management binder. Spreadsheets are all bright and fancy (or at least mine are), but nothing beats pen to paper. Plus all of this new fangled technology tends to crash from time to time. I wrapped up January & February today. Here's a few screenshots:
Forgive me for blocking out the actual dollar figures. Don't need you to see how off we've been in 2013 thus far. Hopefully now being able to look at this everyday will hold us more responsible. Well, it will hold me more responsible because Vernon will never look at it. Then I get to play nagging wife. Fun. Whatever, somehow we've managed to keep our heads above water thus far, if that could just continue that would be great.
As for the family pictures, don't worry I'll post them soon. I've told myself I can't post them until I have uploaded them and ordered prints for the house. Checks and balances system people.
