Office 4/5 Stayed in HomeOffice this week due to exploding numbers of covid in the country
Groceries: €270 / €250 Got no groceries this week but took an opportunity to do a run at my favourite drugstore (new big store of my favourite chain with an empty parking lot) I am done at least until February with detergents, paper products, etc…
Eating out: €120/ €50 Stayed as is was, no take out this week. Dinner for today(and 3 more helping to go into the freezer) is already in the oven.
I also bought $$$ liquor for a friend, $$ birthday present for a wife, and $ donuts for my crew. Mostly, my money goes to other people, and my wants, though continually vexatious to categorize, seem contained (ish). *shrug*
Forgot to do my final week update for October. $529.16/400 for groceries (includes gift card purchase that will also cover some of November’s groceries)
Everything else fell into sinking funds, we didn’t have any big purchases in October this year.
Mine’s going to end up being a (mostly) no spend November…have a few things to get fixed up and sold and hoping the holidays will be good for that but I need to remember to not go buy the parts to make things easier if I don’t actually have to.
Mine is nothing like as numbersy (obvs), but I did both of the things I set out to do. And again I did not go overdrawn. If I can keep this up, there really is a bit of hope.
Week 4
Yeah I think I did OK. Getting Ponder time to sit down and look at our money and budget was hard, but we had some good talks about needing to move away from me doing everything, and towards us supporting him getting his stuff in order.
I have zero intentions of giving up any of my vices.
