Which is why I've always given myself an allowance for personal expenses that can cover those expenses. It's sometimes hard negotiating what exactly we can spend from our regular budget and what we need to pay for out of allowance money. It's such a small thing but it's not easy to get on the same page about.Sherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06355969043412582588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467430172008806972.post-52566236030340512002013-02-21T11:26:37.818-05:002013-02-21T11:26:37.818-05:00Yeah, this stuff it's hard.

It is often the "let's just eat at Mcdonald's" kind of situation that you described above, but also unexpected gifts here and there, or coffee plus cake there, or let's go to the movies.... <br />For the "bigger" expenses (stuff like a new pan), or clothes, or shoes, or travel we sit and think and budget and decide. <br />But those other little things, we just do them as they come and that's when you spend more money than you expected because it's all small-ish quantities (less than 15 USD each time for instance).Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424374017675047414noreply@blogger.com
