setting up a budget
WOO WEE!! The fun the word “budget” brings to mind. I can hear you all now “oh please whimsy, please let us in on the fun”
Well since you asked and all, I will share parts of it.
I don’t know if you all know this, but, if you ask God to give you more and more money, He expects you to be responsible with it. Yeah! Who knew?
Here’s one crazy thing He’s telling me about this budget. While it will involve buying less, He wants me to buy BETTER. There are going to be things that I will buy that will not seem frugal.
i.e. Homeschooling. We’re going with Homesat this year (story for another post) and it’s going to cost more than I’m used to spending, plus we have 1 more joining the official ranks this year.
In essence, there are going to be times when He tells me to spend more than I normally would. OR to save back in preparation for such a purchase. Anyway a budget is going to be a tool in my … my? not arsenal, that would be a weapon. Well, you know, maybe weapon is a better word.’
Yep, my budget is going to be my weapon.
Let’s hope there are no friendly fire incidents.
