I Am Making a Budget!

Monday, June 11th, 2007

I don’t have anything exciting to write about today.  In fact, I’ve been downright depressed today over the cost of living.  I am going to have to cut more corners.  I am going to have to make a very strict budget on paper using figures I know we can count on and then stick to it no matter what.

There are just too many bills and not enough money, and yet we do NOT live extravagantly.  What is a family to do?

I was reading in People magazine today as I waited in line at the check-out in Wally World about the Duggars.  Whew.  Their grocery bill was said to be 2,000 dollars a month.   I guess mine seems small compared to that.  I guess.  It’s just costing me so much these days.  What we are able to afford seems so out of proportion to how much time we have to enjoy it.  (We cannot afford much and it seems we work all the time.)

I was in Sam’s Club not long ago and noticed Why We Want You To Be Rich.  The blurb explaining the item said that the rich in this country are growing richer and the poor are growing poorer and soon there will be no in between. 

Scary.
