June 2012 Month in Review: Money
We had a very busy month with financially-related decisions to be made! Not all of them were made though – actually, none of them. We just spent a lot of time agonizing. We tried to plan the trip to Chicago that we’re on now and didn’t get very far. We’re probably going to decide on our activities day-by-day, though we have a general idea of what we want to do and what it will cost. We … Read entire article »

April 2012 Month in Review: Money
I’ve decided to start a series in which I look back on the previous month’s spending and saving and report how we matched up with our goals (i.e. budget) and what we spent out of our targeted savings accounts. The point is to give you a deeper look into how we spend our money (to provoke discussion) and to provide us some accountability. In April we had three weekends on which we were traveling, so I’ll … Read entire article »
