I so hate it that it always comes down to the last few days and the last few dollars. Paycheck comes Wednesday and we have NOTHING until then. I mean, we are almost there and I'm grateful for that, but why are we always just squeaking by?
Is it really that we *need* to spend that much to keep things going or that we spend what we have? That's what I'm trying to figure out.
Had an awesome weekend visiting with various friends and we actually didn't spend much money. Nice feeling!

Do you keep a spending log? If not, that's really the only way to answer this question. For a month, write down every penny you spend for absolutely anything. At the end of the month, sit down and review the log item by item and see what things were Wants and what things were Needs.
