Today I'm thankful for...
Budgets!
It's financial planning week, so for this week, I'm going to focus on financial related things I'm thankful for! Budgets get a bad rap, but they're actually pretty helpful. I always make my little budget/tracking spreadsheet, and even though I don't always follow it to the penny, it helps me stay on track and know how much money I have left to spend. It's also nice to look back and see where I can cut some spending or if I'm being unrealistic about how much I need to spend in certain categories (like gasoline usually...sigh...). If you're new to the budget bandwagon, check out Mint.com, which lets you categorize your spending, budget for goals, and other cool things.
