New website, new name, time to start a new habit with the Sunday Evening Post! The new sub-title is Personal Finance in a World of Excuses, one of my excuses in determining my budget is that if I don’t normally spend in one of my budget categories, I don’t officially budget for it. That can cause budget overruns or I need to find somewhere else to pull the money from. Would you believe I don’tread more…
Alexa Ranking Update: 241,068 When it comes to spending, the weekend has been very quiet.In fact, thinking back on it to write this post, it seems like maybe theweekend was quiet in general. It doesn’t exactly feel that way, though,probably because of the stress of the previous week. My MIL went in for surgery on Wednesday. The plan was for meto help the hubby with her pre-surgery shower and then to go back to work whileheread more…

Welcome to October, the month I hope to get our spending back on track. I am in Tahoe this weekend for a wedding. The hubby is at home with the dogs. While I am certain we are both doing a small amount of spending, all of our household spending will happen on Monday when I get back. So, no Sunday Evening Post. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Exhausted today and just not feeling inspired about anything. I have a post I want to write about how the mortgage world has changed in the last 40 years, and how the rules of the 1970s really can’t apply to today’s mortgages because of the inflation of property values, but it needs a little more research so I know I’m using accurate numbers first. I turned to the blogs I read for inspiration, but while Iread more…

So it would seem like alow spend weekend, and technically it was, but… My father arrived on Tuesday. We went out to dinner thatnight, despite not really having the room in our eating out budget. OnWednesday, we spent over $50 at variousread more…
