is it too late to join?

 

[luong1209]

Still at 207.45; been staying in these two days.

On another note, my credit card bill last month was only $700...Last 4 months it's been $1,300 average :x.

207.55 - 12 = $195.55

Went to inNout, ordered two double-doubles and a medium drink. She charged me for two extra fries I never mentioned, said whatever, I'll take it

195.55

- 7.XX (call it $8 to make it easy). 187.55

-$4, 183.55.

What if we gamble with the budget, and win some money??

Personally, the way I see it, if you use any money other than budgeted/necesseties, you subtract it.

Up to OP.

you cant add onto what you have left. it can only go down

. thats like saying, what if i used 2.25 to take the train to work to make $200 that day

 

[buggz05]

Well, what if gambling is actually part of my budget?

Okay so question, in the OP it says anything you didn't budget for already.
Well I just bought some denim and already had budgeted for them. Should I include that for the month or not?

if you budgeted for it before october started then i guess you dont have to include it...but its still considered frivolous spending...so i guess count it if you want, no ones going to come after you

 

[omgitswes]

Did pretty good during the weekend. Only spent around 50, 50 might be a bit over but not by much.
189.8 remaining

189.8
5.40 on Greek yogurt

I'm doing way better than I thought I would be.
