I have a church-compiled cookbook for the 1940s from a small Iowa farming town.
While looking through it last night, I came across the following annonymous quote:
"Just about the time you think you can make ends meet, somebody moves the ends."
Glad to report that while I've managed to put together a list of expenses and estimates for those lilne items anticipated for the rest of the year, including Christmas, I'm happy to report that if I am realistic about our spending (allowing more per week so I'm not stressing), we will be OK. This includes Christmas and the holiday season. I don't believe I will achieve my goal of becoming a full mortgage payment ahead per month (more than). I usually pay it two weeks prior to the due date.
