Hooray!
I met my budget this week, managed to put $45 aside in savings and even $25 to "splurge" money.

Good for you! It's an amazing feeling to put some money aside for both savings and 'splurge'. My budget I made a little too tight at first and now I'm introducing a 'splurge' amount each week. I think it'll make a difference in my enjoyment of life on a budget.
Keep up the good work!

You are starting out the year wonderfully keep up the great work you are doing.

Excellent, Jax!!!
I feels so good to know you have that cushion and you don't have to carry a credit card for ANYTING! You never really need to now that you have that emergency money filled.
I am a firm beleiver in a splurge or blow fund. You never know what will come out of left field, but having that money in CASH takes a lot more thought to spend.
For anyone who has not given up credit cards and gone to cash with an emergency fund, I just can't tell you how freeing it really is. You don't need the cc cruch!
Yahoo to you again, Jax!!

I've always tried to have a "splurge" and savings account -- it's just the unexpected cut in my hours/pay due to unwanted change in employment several months ago this really has not been possible since then until now.
Dh and had cut things a little too close to the bone on our set expenses.
Thank you!
*lol* I gave up cc's with my bk 8 years ago and decided then I would never own another.
Great job Jax!
I too need money to do whatever I want with, or I would go crazy! I give myself $100 a week (cash) for food and fun. Once its gone its gone. If I don't spend all of it, the remainder goes to my splurge jar. This is where I accumulate money for bigger things like new running shoes, new clothes, etc.
