Budgeting

This is my new years resolution. I am hosting a Budget Class on Babyzone and decided to post it here as well. Here is the first class Week 1:

The New Year is quickly approaching and everyone is thinking about resolutions. With an uncertain economy and new president about to take office no one knows how these changes are going to affect them so why not make a resolution to set and stick to a budget. This is definitely my New Years resolution. But where do I start…….

Well, I have been doing some research on this and am going to offer a Budget Class over the next few weeks. Now this is going to be done on the fly so I would love some input and opinions. I am NO expert in this like I said I am only just beginning now but I am very excited to get started.

Starting a Budget.

Where to start??? Let's start by taking a good look at why we want to do this and the goals and mindset we need to have before we begin. This is really about taking a good look at yourself and having the right attitude to accomplish your goal. Anything is possible when you set your mind to it. Now of course we all have off days so it is important to leave a little wiggle room and if you fall off, DON'T give up. Get back up there and try again. Pretty soon it will become an art and you will wonder how you ever got along without budgeting.

We'll stop here for this first week Your homework will be to decide if you really want to commit to Budget planning this year. I'd love to know how many people are going to take this plunge with me so if you decide to commit please let me know by commenting below. To Be Continued……
