How fast money goes? Sometimes it just amazes me! I started the week with a nice little amount in our checking, did a couple of trips, grocery store, Wal Mart, bought a prescription, gas and bam! There's hardly anything there now.

Just my observation for the day!

Edited to mention that I did pay bills as well!

Yeah, this week really stinks. Hubby has gone through just about all the money in gas for his truck. He will get paid again Thurday,and it won't cover all the bills. Everytime we get ahead, we get right back behind again! It is so frustrating!

Yah,.... I can't even talk about it right now, I'll get disgusted. LOL It just stinks! Everytime I turn around, someone needs money. I had to buy groceries, pay all the bills, then I had to write a check for GS uniforms, put gas in the car AGAIN, (3 times in one week!) 2 diffrent dr copays, and a quick trip to DD for a coffee. THEN on Friday, I was in rite aid TWICE, first because I ran out of pads and tampons, then again because I forgot to get paper plates and chips for our cheerleading banquet! Then on Monday, dh tells me he needs to give a co-op $50, I'm like NO WAY Sorry. Get in trouble with work, I can't help you, I'm TAPPED out. I don't know what he did, but I didn't give him any money. We have 2 check books, one he has no access too. The one he does, he overdrew on my last weekend so he couldn't take any money out of that one. I just left it overdrawn too so he couldn't spend any more money! LOL

Yup, I know how you feel! You get the cheque and it looks pretty good! You know you only have one big bill to pay and a few small ones, so you think that there will be money left over...yah right!! By the time you add all that up, get gas and food....they cheque is gone! Oh well, thank God the money was there to pay everthing...even if there wasn't anything left over for any extras !

yep I to get that one and this is the week all the bills are due so it goes really quickly and I wish I had more to save and pay down debt

this is one horrible week. It started out with such a wonderful balance in the account - after taking out almost half of it to pay one of the debts finished and payed the bills it looked very sad indeed.

Yes!!

My neighbor and I were just talking about this!

I don't Care How Much my Dh makes! No Matter what , it always goes so Fast!

I do not see any way to save any Substantial amount of money with 4 kids

Sure you can cut back on this and that or do without stuff.... But to Me that is Just the way We Have to Do it in order to Stay on top!

Every time I turn around someone or Something Needs money- I just don't Get it -

Taylor Needed some New Shirts and dresses,and I scored big at my favorite Thrift shop yesterday , BUT , I also Just Found out I have to get a 1200.00 crown put on my tooth next Month AND I just got papers From school about the kids Dec gift exchange, and Kyle needs new Basketball sneakers, and I Need two New tires on my car I've been putting off too
Oh and Not only is Christmas Coming - so are my two Girls birthdays!

My Dh makes alot on paper so it really sucks , cause ppl. think we can afford anything- But It really goes out as fast as it comes in so it doesn't matter what we make.
! Amazing!

Yes.. especially when my husband goes shopping. He rarely goes in Walmart and then acts like he will never go back again.
