Using CASH!!

Wow!  Can you believe it!!

Seriously, I think using cash instead of card will help me.  In the past, I have said “my budget is … and I am going to stick to it” but then I would see a “great deal” or a “just have to have item” and since it was coming out of the bank and not my hand, I never saw how much I was spending.  Someone suggested that cash would be easier to keep me on track, so I am trying it.  That means I will need to be more cautious about spending money, because once the money is gone for the week, it’s GONE.

Lets hope I learn my money limits early…
