Change! Bah! Actually, I do track my expenses! I always have ("always" being a relative term meaning "during the life of my blog"). But that's it - I just track, I don't budget ahead. Much. Well, I don't use budgeting software. I have a spreadsheet, where I track, and sometimes I "track ahead of time." A lot of people have called me out on this, saying that it's a "budget." I scoff at them! Stephanie does not budget! (Yet.) ;) My tune? Change! Bah!

Actually, I do track my expenses! I always have (“always” being a relative term meaning “during the life of my blog”). But that’s it – I just track, I don’t budget ahead. Much. Well, I don’t use budgeting software. I have a spreadsheet, where I track, and sometimes I “track ahead of time.”

A lot of people have called me out on this, saying that it’s a “budget.” I scoff at them! Stephanie does not budget! (Yet.)
