Baby Steps to Budgeting

So, my new thing is to be responsible as I walk happily into my "30's". I've set up this iron-clad budget that I can adhere to because I just wasn't getting a grip on my finances as I sailed "blindly" through my 20's. I literally worked like a dog and had nothing to show for it. And frankly, it made me an irritable b**ch!

But NOW... As I stick to my little budget, I've realized how much money I actually make and I can actually see what the hell I'm doing with my life. I have a long term goal and a short term goal and I think I can at least get to my short term goal in about 6 weeks. It's amazing what writing down your expenses can do for you. I've really opened my eyes and realized that spending all of my paycheck is not going to make happy.

Socking away tons of cash just might!
