Going Over 2025 Expenses

I haven't felt like doing too much physical around the house, so printed off bank statements from 2025. A few shockers on there, like the total spent on eating out and a lot of cash that I didn't keep track of. Very eye opening, but also a good way to look at the reality of things.

Going forward, we will be on a strict budget when it comes to eating out. And I will be on top of receipts for how cash is being spent. 

Happy Saturday!

I use two tools to record everything....Pocket Money on my phone which I paid a little bit to have more useful tools...and quickbooks that I have had since 2014 version was updated from the 2008 I got free,....I like to track but I do not like to go back and look at the spending patterns....I should....much more than I do...

    Today is the birthday of  my favorite aunt. I lost her 2 years after the death of my mom. I miss you aunt FranSince I feel I am a family of one with no real love around, guess I will love myself. I may dye my hair later today. But first, I will shop for a nice fall jacket and maybe look for a good fall/Oct festival in the area
