A Pile of Receipts

I sit here with a pile of receipts in my lap.   My husband and I track our spending down to the penny.    Life has been crazy that I think I have about a month's worth of receipts to enter.   I try to do it about once a week.  My plan was to go to the grocery store this morning and do this later, but my daughter ended up with a fever this morning.   She is home from school and I'm staring at a pile of receipts.   I've thought about those people who don't spend but about $100 in a month as a challenge.   That would cut down on the receipts, but what would we eat?   Tracking our spending is good because we can plug holes where money runs out and it shouldn't.   It is painful to do all the leg work for it.   I guess it is like going to the grocery store and spending $30 on $200 worth of groceries.   You have to do the leg work to get the reward.  

So today, I will review our spending and play UNO with a sick little one.

"This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it".  Psalm 118:24
