What have you found that works for budgeting shopping/spending money?
Derek decided to use his budget for a penny board. He is one happy camper about that thing. He was like a kid on Christmas coming home from school to see that package. He was in the door and right back out to ride that thing. I loved seeing him so excited.
We're also giddy about our weekend coming up. I don't know that Derek would choose the word giddy(too feminine for baseball), but that's sure how I feel about Friday and Saturday this weekend.
Friday looks like this...(look'ed' like, until we just barely realized, after I posted this, that's next friday. So so sad. Poor guy was SOOO excited)
And Saturday we are celebrating our 2nd anniversary. I can't believe it's been two years. I'm one lucky lady to have that boy in my life forever. I thank my Heavenly Father for him daily. Derek has it all planned out and I can't know a thing. Yip! I love surprises. And him. More than I ever thought possible.
That sounds like a really good idea. We might need to think about doing that. We've done it where if we do side work (he works on someone's car, I make and sell something, etc), then that money is ours to spend. I'm excited to find out what Derek has planned for your anniversary! I hope there's a post for it. Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteBudget? What? Just kidding. We definitely are working on putting together a "realistic" budget now that we have a couple of months of knowing our spending habits together, a food bill for 2, gas/electric costs, etc. I really love the idea of having a "fun" part of the budget that you both have a portion of. I'm adding that in to ours for sure! Can't wait to hear about your anniversary celebrations! And, I think it's about time for a skype date!
ReplyDeleteHe really does look like it's Christmas morning. We were never brave enough to have a "fun money" part of the budget. Good for you. Spending money on yourself occasionally is theraputic (sp?).
