I think I'll do what you're doing and just reboot it on August 1, and try to be more obsessive about for a while :)<br /><br />I would LOVE to have a nice big slush (as distinct from emergency) fund, but I have a feeling that's not going to happen anytime soon because you're right, something *always* comes up!thesingledollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05983910821824106143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856734926342648468.post-85117997098608006752014-07-24T13:35:15.693-07:002014-07-24T13:35:15.693-07:00Yeah, it's all mostly accounting fiction -- th...Yeah, it's all mostly accounting fiction -- the money is the money, but I think it'll make my life a little easier to just declare all my July income "for August." I would love to be even further ahead. Maybe sometime in the future :)<br /><br />Dancing is an awesome idea. I'm going to substitute a bike ride I think but still :) Thanks!thesingledollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05983910821824106143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856734926342648468.post-30637159415166877472014-07-23T10:08:27.302-07:002014-07-23T10:08:27.302-07:00Woohoo to having big retirement goals, getting eve...Woohoo to having big retirement goals, getting everything going right, and getting a month ahead! I am half a month ahead, but am slowly trying to get all the way ahead. I could do it just by rearranging part of my emergency fund, but since I don't use that software, I am fine with the way I currently do things. <br /><br />I totally understand that even when things are all going as expected (it's a boring update... things are chugging along) it doesn't feel awesome. It should, but it doesn't. Go dance all silly in the living room - I do that to try to shake away the funk. It might only be temporary, and I look like a goof, but I fake it until I make it sometimes.

I bought it on sale 14.99 (16.47 CAD) I thought about it for the longest time since it didn't make sense to spend money on something when you are trying to save money. I have heard good things about it, it's just not the most intuitive program or maybe it's me. I think it's me. I started on July 1, it's all screwed up so now my plan it to start on August 1 anew. <br />The slush fund takes some tweaking because there are always things that you forget and something else always pops up. It definitely gets depleted before it gets a chance to grow though. sigh. Strandedrockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00546604483771026161noreply@blogger.com
