Rose Hall,
For some reason my husband's budget goes a longer way than mine too! I think it's the lunches out with friends that are getting spendy. He usually has money left at the end of the month, where i usually am waiting anxiously for the new month's allowance. I like being on a budget tho, it makes me more mindful of the things I do buy and how blessed I am to be able to have the things I do have. Also makes me mindful of sharing those blessings with those who are not as fortunate. Thanks for all these notes on this topic. Lots to think about.
