Now that January is over, actually three days gone, I reviewed my first attempt at executing and staying within a budget created with Quicken, and . . . it worked! I wound up with a decent surplus in my savings account after all was said and done!
It has been really interesting reevaluating the things I spend money on, and the things I prioritize in life and such. Plus, and this is a sad one, it's been good to have my eyes opened to how much I spend on small stuff I don't need! Seriously! Whether it's eating on the road while I'm working, or random desk supplies, or clothes that are super-cheap on sale and I think, "oh, I can't pass this up!" but only wear it once or never wear it at all.
Anywho, so far, the budget is working, thank goodness! Plus, I've officially stuck to my weight lifting routine three weeks in a row now - yay! Just gotta keep swimming, like Finding Nemo says (since I'm secretly eight years old deep down, or maybe not so secretly)!
