NOVEMBER 19, 2014
We ate at home a lot and watched our food budget carefully. We still allotted a lot of money for food, but we were careful not to go too far over budget. We do meet every month to go over expenses and needs. When something unexpected comes up we have another budget meeting. What are your financial goals now?

I’m Mary, and it’s a pleasure to participate in Kristen’s Meet a Reader series.

I did the regular budget audit and cut things out like entertainment, fast food, and going out with friends. The daily finances are handled my me, but my husband and I have weekly money check-ins and monthly budget meetings. He leaves most of the financial goals up to me, but we make the decisions together.
