Another day with no spending. It was a close call though. Jason worked out of the house today for the first time in about 10 months. Threw us for a loop. Back in the office days, I used to pack his lunch. And get up early : ). Well, those days are well behind us, so I was out of practice on both counts. I did not see him off and panicked around lunch time when it occurred to me that he may at that very moment be spending our $75 for the week on a cheesy take-out lunch. I vowed to be understanding. Thank goodness that, although he too was quite groggy this morning, he remembered to pack a lunch.
Lessons to take away from that:
1. Plan ahead to make sure your husband/children aren't tempted to blow the budget when the noon time hunger pangs hit.
2. Make sure you have drilled it into their heads that you cannot afford to spend the $75 for the week on one day's lunch.
I did neither, and thankfully it worked out in our favor. Whew. Way to go, Jason!
