First you stumble, then you pick yourself up
I screwed up.
I thought the Mister got paid today, but I was off by a week - he gets his check next week. I'm kicking myself over and over,because this one is going to cost us overdraft fees and money from our savings. This voluntary money fast is no longer quite so voluntary.
I've learned the importance of keeping track of everything. The beauty of Quicken is that we can see into the future, financially. This is so valuable. But if you're off on something, dang does that screw everything up.

I was hoping to stretch $40 for 2 weeks. However, I bought food for $35 today and it wasn't that much. I realized it was the $10 cat food. I bought low-fat polish sausage (1lb), kale, beans, chicken broth, grapes, nectarines, skim milk, small carton of chocolate milk. I think that is it. How is that my $35. I swear I spent less than that on food in college. Pastaroni's for dinners. Yuck. I still need diet coke and conditioner.
I never understand why people have to track all of their purchases. I just bank online and I check my balance daily, look at my spending, make sure I have enough to cover whatever I spend that day and until I am paid. I have never overdrawn...
