I am wondering if all the years of standard accounting practice has just made it impossible for me to really wrap my head around this.
For instance my daughter is in a Girl Scout Troop. We just collected $800 form parents to buy tickets to an event. We deposited it and then will write a check back out for the same amount. Do I just treat this as a regular transaction since it is never a budgetable / plannable expense? Also, We can pay all our monthly bills with my wife's check alone. She is the only one with a steady paycheck. Should I just try and create our spending plan with her check in mind and leave my money as extra? (Contractor - I may make $4000 this month, none next) In regards to bills. In the winter our electric may be $150 and gas may be $30.00 in summer it's $200 and $80 respectively. Do I chage these as I go? Our daughter is in a wheelchair. With that comes all sorts of different and unexpected medical costs. I cant budget for them. I can budget Dentists, Eyes, Pediatrician but not that. We just grab from savings if something pops up. I know the whole point of this is too not feel boxed in but the more I get into this the more I feel that way... Maybe it is just a reprogramming thing... am I missing something? Am I making this too complicated? Should I start using this to just keep track of monthly bills and as I use track where my money is going and create new buckets from there? To be honest here I feel like I am missing the boat on this... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "No Thirst Software User Forum" group.
