May Madness
You've heard of March Madness, right? It has something to do with Basketball, I think!? People go crazy over college basketball in March! I don't get it!?? What if in the month of May, we go crazy over tightening down our budget? What if we put one-quarter of the energy into our budgets that we put into paying attention to the "brackets" during the month of March! I'm issuing the challenge, will you accept?
This month Aaron and I are going to try and tighten down our budget and put the rest towards the debt. We realized last month that we have just been "following" our plan (and sometimes not even that well), but now we want to get really intense this month and try and put some "extra" money towards the debt (even more than we already do)! How much do you think we can add? An extra $200, maybe $300!? That would be amazing!
We definitely pad some areas of our budget each month, these are areas that we think we can do better in! Our groceries is one that we struggle with a lot! We want to cut our grocery bill quite a bit!
What is an area that you think you can cut down this month to put towards whichever step you are on (debt, emergency fund savings, retirement savings, etc.)?
Here are some ideas of an area that you can look at to cut down your expenses/budget this month:
- Groceries
- Restaurants
- Household Items
- Fun/Blow Money
- Entertainment
- Water/Electricity/Utilities???
Let us know how you plan to cut your expenses in the comments!!
