A blog at rest tends to stay at rest

One of these days I'll post something again.

(Blog posts about blog posts are the worst kind.)

Um, excuse me Emily, but you posted this on my birthday. I was expecting a long, adoring post all about that, and me.

(I'm officially offended.)

(And happy because I haven't posted in over a month, so now I feel better.)

(Since you are my blogging guru, even though you don't know it.)

A few of my sisters-in-law have asked me how I do the family budget, so this is a straight up accounting of how I do the accounting. When we get a paycheck: 10% tithing right off the top Then, with the remainder (net minus tithing), I divy it up into percentages and put money into different "funds" -- that I keep track of in the back of my paycheck because I'm old school like that.

Baby steps: 20% goes to meeting financial goals a la Dave Ramsey's baby steps. This means that you focus on one thing at a time, leaving the rest so that your money is not so thinly spread and you can make visible progress. This presupposes that one has abandoned using credit, and i
