I love this! My hubby and I use our credit cards and pay the balance every pay day :) I’ll have to look into the excel set-up, that’s a really fantastic idea!

Oh my gosh – what an ingenious way to budget…. I love that your budget for your variables grows!!! That’s great. I may have to try that.
We are slowly getting there. By there, I mean financially organized. It’s painful. But absolutely necessary. Unfortunately in our situation, we’re both spenders – which is bad! I’m now the “saver” in the relationship, but it is so hard. So I love to read about and hear about anything budget related so I can learn.

that seems like a very confusing way to budget… but kudos if it works for you :-)

Thank you so much! I read the whole post in complete concentration – haha. I will be using your template in our own budgeting, starting tonight. I think this is an excellent way to think about budgeting. Although my husband & I keep very detailed records of our finances I’ve really struggled with the idea of the typical budget – having a monthly limit and then letting the rest spill over into the next month. So, your husband’s yearly accrument strategy is perfect! Thanks for sharing! :)
