After a full day of data entry of 6 months worth of expenses I was able to sum up what we spent. O. M. G. I needed a drink.. too bad I can't afford one!
To sum it up for you we spent $36,005.38 and our deposits equaled $34,883.46. We spent $1,121.92 more than we make... we did not save a dime.
After a few hours of letting the numbers sink in and really getting a grip on where we over spent I began to see how we can improve, save and pay down debt. I am feeling more positive. The hard part is admitting you have a problem, right?
Now it was time to discuss with the family... I tried a couple times but my husband kept avoiding me. I don't think this is something he wanted to hear anymore than me. Especially since he will have to come face to face with his part in this mess. I just know he likes to put the blame on me and my spending but the proof is in the numbers (numbers written in red to be exact) and he has some mirror gazing to do himself!
It's time for a "Coming to Jesus" meeting.
Tomorrow... I'm in charge?! Say what?
