Will Power.. and the new budget for April.

March 26th, 2005 at 02:22 pm

I almost caved in and bought a pack of cigarettes yesterday. Funny though, I wasn't under stress or panicking (the usual culprits for a relapse)- I just asked the cashier for a pack of Marlboro Lights. As he was reaching up to grab a pack, I told him nevermind and he just looked at me kinda confused. When I walked out of the store I pondered my request for a few hours.. trying to pinpoint what triggered the question.

Even if I would have attempted to get the pack.. I didn't carry enough to buy it LOL. I left all my cash and cards at home (got WIC items for my daughter so it's still a no spend day yayyy) and walked to the store so I wouldn't overspend... go figure?

Anywhoo... I have re-vamped the April Budget and it pinches a little more as I am depositing extra money into the emergency fund cash account. Here are the estimates:

Emergency fund:100.00
Birthday/ Seasonal gift fund:100.00
Quarlerly expenses fund: 200.00
Leftover Total: 200.00

A bit depressing since last month I had over 1000.00 left over from the bills but I plain forgot to put these three funds into my equation. Of course, I have calculated my envelope money into the Bill Equation. It serves as the "pay yourself first" portion of bill payments.
