Back to big spending, plastic money, free wheeling and feeling fine. YAY!

It may not be directly homeschool-related, but money-management is definitely something that kids need to learn. You can see the post here: http://www.janice-campbell.com/2008/08/19/carnival-of-homeschooling-more-to-school-than-textbooks/ Hi Jesse-

I bought YNAB Pro last July, but fell of the wagon last year. I really want to be a budgeter again so I am getting back on starting tomorrow! I am really looking forward to it! Thanks for your supportive tools! Hi Jesse,

Can't wait for that subscription to expire! Thanks, Jesse, for showing us the light at the end of the tunnel. And all the humor and good vibes it can bring!

I am right there with you. I have added a number of extra spreadsheets to YNAB to calculate specific things. Graphs sound like a great idea too! (thanks Sam). Jesse,

I started with a few things, budgeting for this and that, but I started to feel too much in control of my finances, too much of a financial peace of mind. I used to feel uncertain on whether I could buy something or if I could afford to take a vacation someplace far. Now I don't worry about that. Life is so planned, it's now kind of boring. It's not exciting and dangerous like before, leaving on the edge of financial bankrupcy! Now all goals have a timetable to accomplish. The spontaneity is out! What a boring but secure life? I'm just kidding of course. I mean the opposite of all I've written. I haven’t quit budgeting yet because I haven’t really started.

For now we will continue to be guilt free about the guilt freeness that comes from budgeting. You're hilarious, dude. ****patiently waiting for the Mac version***** ~A big fan~ Jesse,
