My BF is not all that into budgeting and is not aware of my blog and so providing it doesn't infringe on "our time" I will definitely take part. We will have to see when the rules come up!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08449362949252022092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4835856675332706410.post-80186054348663730992011-01-18T07:16:35.736-08:002011-01-18T07:16:35.736-08:00I'm a zero based budgeter..it's simply all...I'm a zero based budgeter..it's simply allocating every penny {or cent] to something.

I have yet to get this one right. Sometimes my money has a life of its own. ;)<br /><br />Glad to have you on board Maureen, it's going to be fun! :)!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13940623529019637336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4835856675332706410.post-36430737493474326962011-01-18T06:24:34.067-08:002011-01-18T06:24:34.067-08:00There are plenty of names for plenty of ways to bu...There are plenty of names for plenty of ways to budget<br /><br />I knew there was a zero-based budget, and I used to do that when I was in debt.<br /><br />Now I just set $1000 - $1500 a month and pay for my essentials and leave the rest into a pot to take out of if need be for whatever I want.FB @ FabulouslyBroke.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12966672580040786485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4835856675332706410.post-63373291630547387362011-01-18T04:44:14.947-08:002011-01-18T04:44:14.947-08:00Tee hee - I never knew there was any other way to ...Tee hee - I never knew there was any other way to budget besides zero-based.
