I find it helps me very much to look forward a few months and anticipate birthdays, holidays, events that might be happening.


So, going forward what do you guys have going on expense-wise?


For me, I am already making a list of small Easter things for my kids baskets. I went to Walgreens yesterday and they had a Dora doll on clearance 1/2 off for $5 so I got it for my DD's basket.


Also, I want to sign my son up in April for Karate - $70. And I want to join our local pool this year - $140 for the summer for a family of 4.


Right now besides the wedding we are going to out of state in April those are my expenses upcoming.

Oh yes,

Well, swimming lesson sign up in March and summer camps to get a spot for them before they all go. One ds birthday on Friday, got that one covered and one ds birthday in March. Not sure on that one yet. Yes, guess I need easter eggs but will not go over board this year.

Tomorrow - DD's birthday
Saturday - Valentine's day. We usually go out for a nice dinner without the kids another day, since that's a hard day to find a babysitter
Grandmother's birthday - February 21 (that's usually a card and maybe a small gift)
DS's 1st birthday - March 3
Easter
DH's birthday - June 4
DD's birthday - June 13
Our anniversary - June 18
And there will probably be a baby shower for a relative in May or June

Oh, I am insane on the looks ahead.


I have the budget planned for each pay period for the rest of the year.
