Thought I would take a few minutes to review this month plan, goals and accomplishments so far, beings this is all so new to me.

-make this journey fun, by making it like a game.
-allowing myself to be flexible (nothing is set in stone).
-only buying that which we need or really really really wanted. (I have made a list of things we/I really really really want and that list is not all the long will share later).
-decided on a budget amount for recreation, which is a very important part of our lives and making ourselves stick to it. (In fact last night dh suggested we get slurpees at 7/11 until I reminded him they would have to come out of the entertainment rec account when we only have 80 left then he thought a glass of aw rootbeer, which we had at home would be just fine) choices choices choices.
-watching how much gas we are using and how many miles we are driving.
-sticking close to the amount we budgeted for food.
-transferring all he bills that automatically went on visa to our checking account.
-turning off lights (did not realize how many we left on) already bought energy saving bulbs a few month ago
-becoming aware of when we might be wasting but not becoming anal (ie…watching use of paper plates but not saying I can’t use them when I want…..keeping it a game)
OK that’s what I can think of for now.
