Cash. C. A. S. H. People always talk about tracking expenses. Saving receipts so they can track expenses. Credit cards that track and organize expenses. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's a waste of time unless you are overspending and have no idea where. Go with cash. Here's why: Let's say you budget $400 per month for groceries. You pull it out at the beginning of the month, and when you go grocery shopping, it goes too. $400 per month, mean $100 per week. Easy to plan. When the money is gone, it's gone. It doesn't matter which grocery stores you spent it at, or if you spent $50 the first week and $150 the next. It's worthless data. You've got better things to do if your spending is already in check.

Hi Kelly, I can’t even get it together (yet) to make a budget! I keep telling myself I’ll get to it when I’ve gotten a little further with my organizing projects – ha! Between my blog, my new job, my work on my upcoming blog, and summer camp schedules, I’m struggling too! Hang in there.
