[bwrestler15]

I'm down to $236 after breakfast today...since I'm still in college, I don't really spend money other than my school money. So I'm doing my own variation where I only spend $250 total this month, food and all. Hope no one minds that.

 

[calypso chanta]

Gonna have to charge you $10 to join.

Sure. I'll start the month with $240.

I think editing peoples balance every Sunday on the frist page will probably be a great way to keep track.

 

[dipsetallday05]

Sure. I'll start the month with $240.

Ok, and I added you to the official list. Good luck

[calypso chanta]

ayye! This is a great exercise in budgeting. Great idea OP.

Does anybody have budgeting program apps for iphone/androids? They might be pretty handy.

EDIT

found a free app for Droid users. It's called MoneyWise.

It allows you to set a budget per month, add exceptions, and ect. Pretty sweet imo. Sorry Iphone users haven't looked up stuff for
you guys yet.

 

[dipsetallday05]

I used droid wallet its a real simple app but it gets the job done
