Maybe I should do that with this shopping trip so I make sure there is no way I can go over $60!

Before we got married, we even saw a financial advisor to get some good financial advice before the big endeavor. He had a great idea that we enjoy. He recommended getting envelopes, labeling them with things like "groceries", "clothes", "pet", "household items", etc. In those envelopes we would put a certain amount of money at the beginning of the month (that's all the money we could spend that month). I would take the envelope I needed to the store and pay only with cash! When we saw the money dwindle away by week 2, we learned better ways to save and spend on needs, not wants. It worked well!! Paying with cash rather than credit makes us more aware of what we spend anyway!! Good luck!! You can do it!Dustin and Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926025247384718837noreply@blogger.com
