Well my tax refund arrived and got me back on track with my budget. I am soooo excited. I just hope that I can really stick to my budget. I will be the first to say that I live outside my means, but I really want to live within them. So with my budget caught up and on track I am going to work very hard to do so. What about you? Do you live within your means or not?

It is always great to get a non regular amount of money. Because you are always looking at things in a it'll take me x amount of time to pay this or save this. I stressed about budget for a long time then one day I realized it was like everything else. Do your best and that is all you can do!!!!! Some good will happen some bad. Of course when I want something I am very prone to "you only live once".

Oh my! I think it is very hard for people to do that now days. I used to always look forward to tax return time every year when I was working. It was a time just like it is for you. I hope to get a stimulus check next year because I sure look forward to alittle extra. But, you have to do what you can. Working on here certainly helps and the writing that I do as well.

Hi there baileycows I try to live within my budget, some months it works and other months it does not. I am trying to save money but it is hard when you live on so little money. And right when I feel that I can something happens like my girls get sick or I do and than I have to run to Walgreens to get pain reliever and other sick people needs. I am going keep on trying to accomplish my goals finacnclly.
