I'd budgeted $90 for my hair this budget period. Yesterday, I washed and styled it myself, saving me $45. So $25 of this will go towards a graduation gift for a friend's kid and $20 back in the bank. If all goes well next week, I'll do the same, saving me a total $40.
Any one watch the Royal Wedding yesterday? I thought it was nice, not what I expected. Though I'm sure there was a nice penny spent, everything looked so simple. Goes to show, not everything has to be over the top.
My May book is "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki, I saw a poster in one of the DR groups posts about it so I decided to read it. It's okay, an easy and quick read. I agree with some things and some I don't, that's pretty much with any book read, you'll always have some pros and cons. Like all the other books read this month, I can always take something away from it.
Later I'll be adding receipts, and balancing the check book. I'm just in chill mode right now.

Yes, I'm tracking the EF on the side bar, it's Baby Step 1. No I'm not minimizing the payments to the CC, it's going to be awhile before I hit the $5k. See DR says stop BS1 at $1,000 but I continue to add between $100 to $150 a month to the account. Glad I've done so because I had a few emergencies cone up.
Basically, each pay period I budget $30-$50 to the EF, I count this as a sinking fund. Any items sold, those funds go towards the EF. Each pay period I have close to about $200 (approximately $500) a month to throw at debt. The last three pay periods, I fell off
