    Default Thoughts on weekly vs monthly spending threads...

    Someone (sorry I don't remember your name!) suggested that a monthly thread would give a better idea of the big picture. While I agree, I also would have a hard time sorting out each persons posts. So....

    What about each person doing their own monthly thread?? Then the rest of us could read each others (which would give the big picture) and make comments or ask questions, but it wouldn't be as cumbersome as a group thread?

    Opinions?

    Other ideas?

    We also could do 1 thread but each just keep editing our original post to keep ours info updated.
    Hopefully we get more opinions. Anyway is really fine though.

    I like your idea better than mine. AND when we want to make a comment or ask a question, we'd do it in a separate post from our (often-edited) spending post.

    Good idea Valerie! I totally forgot about adding comments! Gee with our combined ideas were brilliant!

    Another thing with it all on one post would be we could print it out for personal use too.

    Edit is not working at present. You'll have to do a seperate post each time.

    Well, that puts us back to the original idea of each person carrying their own spending thread for the month (with others welcome to comment or ask questions).

    Opinions on that?

    I think an individual monthly thread on daily spending would be a great idea.
    I love the idea of being able to print them out also.
    What about a seperate thread for daily spending questions and comments...this could be weekly so it doesnt get too long.
