I am still doing it - and it is not pretty!
June seems to be a more expensive month than average(maybe because I am tracking?), and seeing it expressed in numbers is hard. And I am only 2/3 of the month in.
I gave myself what I though was a very reasonable budget with a lot of allowances and space. Turns out it was more of a "wishful thinking" budget.
I track cash daily, credit card purchases downloaded weekly and sort everything according to budget categories.
I'll have to adjust it next month to reflect reality, and I have to try much harder. I will keep doing this until my projected budget and my actual one actually match!!!!
And I will post it at the end of the month no matter how badly I did.
Who is still doing June expenses tracking?

I will restart in July using Grandpa Terry's (Budget Stretcher Premium) spreadsheet.

I am still tracking - by weekly subtotals. I declared it "frugal" after looking at the first two weeks. Now I have a non-rent paying tenant (who as of today owes me $2,980) so I am preserving what I have (but I spent overboard today on groceries). I will posting the uglies right there with you on the 30th.
