Well I couldn't get DH to even look at YNAB (You Need A Budget) for our family budgeting. He's a Quicken man through and through. So I didn't buy YNAB. BUT I've decided to use their approach in budgeting my allowance this year. I'm going to save up a 'buffer' of one month's allowance to start, and add to that.
Actually, I'm saving half my allowance so I have some money to do some crafty things and go to events I'd like to attend. I'm tired of always begging for money for those things (they come up unexpectedly)...and having to justify them. DH is so good at making a person feel guilty/bad about anything they spend on themselves. No more! This year I have a plan...
To make matters easier, I'm having half my allowance automatically transferred from our chequeing account to my personal account. DH is not impressed. I'm ignoring him.
