Ok, I think I have blown my whole $50 eating out budget already and it is only the 8th day of the month. I am pathetic. I contibute my spending to
a)being lazy
b)having a school girl crush on the donut boy at Dunkin Donuts
c)not being well organized
and
d)preferring any meal or drink I can buy over one that I can make myself.
I tell you, I am my own worst enemy! I was keeping track of my spending on eating out but gave up at the end of last week when I figured it was basically pointless. I will face facts tonight and look at the numbers and see if I can salvage any part of the budget.
My sister and her son are coming in for a visit this coming weekend so I am going to have to tweek the budget to include some extra groceries and fun money.
And yes, shame on me for noticing the Donut Boy.

Personally, I think you can beat this.
Let's start small. No more eating out the rest of the week. 3 days. You can do that.
Remember, this isn't just about the numbers. This is also about changing behavior and learning to have the self discipline to live within your budget.
I am not saying it's easy but your at a crossroad. I say let's try to stick to the budget and muscle through this.
You'll see the doughnutboy in May.
