I'm constantly saying and thinking that I need to get back on track. I had plans and resolutions, but we all know what happens with resolutions. Tonight I was thinking about what is it that I did last time to feel better about my situation and how I planned on getting out of trouble.

As much as I hate thinking about living paycheck to paycheck, I think planning my spending for each pay period helped me more than anything. It was just easier to see things that way.

Also, posting more about my money issues helped as well. I've gotten so lazy or I will begin to write and then not post it. But posting regularly really kept me focused.

Finally, I need to find new financial blogs to read. When I first started researching budgeting and got into blogs, I would read an entire blog back to the beginning. I love reading through posts where one has struggled and over time overcomes huge obstacles. But now, they have reached their goals, and the blogs are less than inspirational.

So I'm going to try to find my way back to being able to at least cope with my money troubles. I get paid on next Friday, so I'll post my payday budget then.
