How's the budget going?

We've been at this new budget for about 1 month and I have to admit that it's a little harder to keep than I thought it would be. Some categories are just really easy and others are really hard to stick to. The way that my budget is set up right now there just isn't any wiggle room to give until the beginning of the year, so we're really having to be very diligent in where and what we spend our money on.

When I say that I don't have any wiggle room I don't want to give the impression that we're broke. Part of our budget includes savings and pocket cash, so no, we're not broke...we're just disciplining ourselves.

There's a verse in the Bible that accurately represents the phase that we're in right now....

"No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening--it is painful! But afterward there will be a quiet harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way." Heb. 12:11 NLT
