I am not so good at budgeting.

The All-Star break is here…and time for a bit of reality. I just crunched the numbers for June, and I was $350 over the budget I set. Shiza. I’m going to try to wrap up July on budget. Here’s what I’ll have to do to get there:

• Not buy groceries for the rest of the month (to make up for how overbudget I went on clothing). Shouldn’t be too hard since I have plenty in the fridge and still have 4 big recipes I want to make.
• $100 left for eating out and drinking (I have a friend coming in at the end of the month so that might be tough, but I definitely need to get more disciplined about this.)
• Fill up the tank only one more time this month. I have half of a tank now so I would have to really punch up the carpooling.
