Budget Bliss
OK, maybe not bliss. More like, "stink I'm glad that's done!". I just finished our budget for 2013. Yes I realize it's Feb. Yes, I realize I'm late, but let's look at the bright side, I don't have to do it again until Feb 2014!! Silver Lining Baby!
If you are interested in doing a budget for the year and discovering where your money disappears to in a puff of smoke... trust me it's not ACTUALLY flying out the front door every time you open it like your Dad used to tell you. And now that the Canadian money is all plastic it really DOESN'T grow on trees!!
Anyway. A few great resources for budget starting:
Dave Ramsey has got some great downloadable forms to use: http://www.daveramsey.com/tools/budget-forms/

We did the Dave Ramsey thing, and it's the best thing we've done in our marriage! Budget every month, so much less stress and so much more hope. Good for you guys!

KATHY!!! Love that you did this too! It's so nice to have it all out on the table for everyone to see. Even the kids can look and see where the money goes etc.
