Maybe this is a guy thing. My dad used to make budget sheets religiously. He made an Excel spreadsheet listing his income and expenses in detail every single month. I checked his credit report/score the other day and found out he was never late on a single payment and had impeccable credit. I would like to follow that example but my problem is, my “budget” goes out the window when I go to the mall. Im always thinking, “I can afford this” even when I can’t. But, there is no time like the present. Today, I’ll make a budget sheet…and be depressed for the rest of the day. LOL jk. Great post! Im looking out for part 2!

@dennis cummings, that is so true,money is what you make it.you can pay anywhere from 5-5,000 on a pair of shoes but at the end of the day it's just a pair of shoes and everybody needs at least one.So the only smart thing to do is budget find out where you stand and get in where you fit in.

the 1st step to financial freedom is understanding that money is not real…ex: a drink in the club has a different price everywhere u go. y??? because money is what u make it….

I’m feeling this! If more people budgeted, people would live in their means…
