Okay, after the memorial day, I admitted that I overspend my money, and I knew how I should cut it down. Lately, I just won't care about how much balance, or my goal balance should be kept. I just buy whatever I like without hesitation. Is that wrong? I just bought an desktop all - in - one computer for $529 after tax; and a portable Air Conditioner $400 after tax. With other spending, I sum it up around $1000 over the long weekend without traveling anywhere. So, that was how my weekend goes. I might just stay home for the next month, and not wanting to spend on anything else.

I think it happens to us all at times. At least what you got you could use and benefit from. A new computer and AC unit are things that are useful. I do believe that if you are tempted to spend money when you are out and about that I would stay home for a month or so and recoop the savings a bit.

YES! It is real tough to put a check on your spending if you are that kind of person who end up almost everything that comes your way. In order to minimize spending you really have to be quite cautious and determined not to spend on unnecessary things. Tightening up the purse is all wonder.

Well, I think you do not need an accountant who handles your budget statement. From the moment you, realizing you're spending too much, I think that aspect of you "to dampen" the situation. I cited my example, we are at the end of the month and I have no money. With this I have to give up many things, until June 1 when I get the monthly assign. Get the math, I advise you to avoid going too far out of your budget. Recommendation from a friend!

I have overspent to buy a apartment in my city. Because I and my wife is so busy in job, we do not have time to pick up and send my little boy to a primary school, so we bought a apartment for my inlaws to live. I dare not overspend anything now.
If I have to stay home, and nobody was home to cook for me, I won''t choose to go out dining, and I will take instant noodles instead.

I know it is hard to cut back on spending, but it is good to reward yourself. Right now I am trying to make as much money as possible so I can take Randy to a Dodger Game in July. I am making sure that I save as much as I can online to build this account and I figure if I push myself hard I should be able to make it. Can you work overtime to help pay off your debts sooner? Or work harder online to make your debt as well?

Well, you work hard to earn money and you have a right to spend it for buying wanted things. You did spend a lots but it is all what you need for your living, right? Then be ok with it, my friend.
I understand why you said you may stay home for the next month. But you did buy already then you have another way is earn money more from now then you can have extra money for next month if you want to go out somewhere near your place.

I don't think it's wrong. It is your money and you worked hard for it, if you want to blow it that is your choice. I think a budget is a good idea, so you can stay organized and focused on your goals, but I think every now and then it is good to splurge. It's healthy.
