Over the last few weeks, we've been tweaking our family household budget. In order to get a better handle on where our money is flowing, I've been trying to keep track of what I'm spending -- where, on what and why.
It has been an eye opener, to say the least. We spend a lot of money on crap we don't really need.
This is not exactly the thing you want to find out about yourself -- that you have an impulse purchase issue when it comes to items that your child or your husband might want and you are all about making them happy and so you buy before you really even think about it -- but there it is in black and white on receipts, week in and week out.
And so? I'm trying to spend my money more wisely and consciously.
