Month 2 Budget
Keeping it real!
After posting last months budget, we received a lot awesome feedback about sharing a great first month ‘REAL’ budget. So here we are again... Another month in and yes we are still playing with numbers, but we are happy with where we are at and making the right changes where they need to be made.
An interesting fact is we travelled almost double the distance this month as last and used almost twice as much fuel- yet we only came in $50 a week more than month one. Pretty happy about that!
We have set a new goal breakdown for month 3 and are hoping to come in under $900 per week 🤞🏼, we are keeping in mind we are a family of 5 (something I often forget)!
