Anyone need help managing their money? I do.......I'm open to suggestions that work for you. I am an avid reader of new topics that interest me so I should find a book to help me. However corny it sounds, I find the "XXX for Dummies" books good for any new topic. I hope a "Budgeting for Dummies" book exists. Anyone have the additional challenge of being paid once a month and then managing to have money left at the end of the month?
So bloggers, I'm looking for some help. Do you have a budget? Do you balance your checkbook in the paper register, like when we used to write checks for everything? I use my Debit card for everything but don't write anything down. I've tried but gave up. I keep my receipts stuffed in my wallet and if I'm really good, periodically look at my online account to see what my balance is (especially before a purchase over $100). Anyone out there successful at tracking what they spend? Do you have a template, some tool, some software? It's been 17 years since I starting getting paid monthly (which stinks) and I still don't have a solution for managing my money.
Feel free to share your tips in the comment section below or send me an e-mail at erinhummingbird19 at gmail dot com. I will post any tips I receive next week.
Hugs all, E
