Budgeting

Do you always stay within your budget? Who handles the budgeting at home? So you give a full account of your household expenses to your spouse? Are you good at balancing the checkbook? Do you get frustrated when you are not able to budget the cash that you have? Some of us may be having problems about how to properly budget your money. In these times, if only one person works for the family, the income is not enough to support the family. The wife needs to be able to stretch the cash to make it last until the next pay comes. How do you deal with this situation? Do you resort to loaning or pawning valuable items?

My husband works full time outside he home and I am a sahm. I handle all the budgeting but I tell him what I'm doing.It can be very frustrating when you have more money going out than coming in. We get by ok with just his income but have started Dave Ramseys total money makeover, so to help out I've started babysitting 2 kids and have taken on a flyer delivery route. We have sold a few things we had that no one used but we haven't had to pawn anything off.
