AAAAAHHHH! Surely this has happened to everyone at one point or another, but I opened the credit card bill today and practically had a heart attack. This doesn't happen very often, we have a pretty good budgeting system in place - we log all our purchases on Google docs and keep a running tally of what we have spent for the month. And usually, we do a good job of watching and paying attention. Apparently, not this month. We didn't do anything exotic, exciting, or extraordinary - just everyday life - and the money just trickled out. To the tune of twice our usual monthly expenditures. Twice!?! Yikes. Guess we'll pay better attention this month.
Have you ever paid the price for not paying attention?
I have totally done this. Usually the money gets lost to food which has to be the most worthless expenditure. Sorry for the unpleasant shock.
ReplyDelete@ team tovar - totally food. Now my wallet is lighter, but the rest of me...not so much. Good thing exercise is cheap.
ReplyDeleteFine, I guess we'll just bring our own snacks tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteUmm, only every month. Shhhh! Don't tell anyone; I'm an accountant. ;)
ReplyDeleteEvery. Single. Month.
