Hi, I’m Michelle and I’m a Budget Fudgeter.

I’ve been on a well deserved break for a while. Unfortunately, not blogging about money has put my well honed money budgeting habits on break as well.

There is something very focusing about writing and blogging about money issues that makes me want to do better. I budget more carefully, watch my pennies, do without more, when I know I’ll be writing about my experiences in this blog.

However not writing for the last couple of weeks has made my budgeting lackadaisical

I’ve been lazy.

Sure I still have my envelopes. One for grocery money. Another for play money and another still for gas money. However I have found myself buying clothes and make up and beautiful face creme from my other envelopes!

Hi, I’m Michelle and I’m a budget fudgeter.

I’ve been stealing from groceries to give myself ‘the appearance of smoothing out my finer lines and wrinkles in my face.’

Now that I’m blogging again I feel I have to fess up and get back on track.

Now, I’ll probably need to eat skimpy or rob my play money or….?

My coin boxes around the house are pretty bare. That extra cash went to my fun workshop for next month.

I don’t know how or where I’ll make up the money, but I’ll figure it out. And then I’ll let you know.

Today I’m off for a date with my Hubby. Movie and Dinner. We’re catching the early movie and will get a discount – and probably still make happy hour. A great evening at low cost – and back home early enough to give the babysitter a full night out if she wants!

This week watch for blog posts on inheritance, saving, IRA, taxes and more on bugeting.

I’m debt free – are you?

It’s nice to be back.
