Money isn't everything as long as you have enough.
- Malcolm Forbes
Well, pay day is Friday and we're cruising on into the last days with exactly $1.68 in the checking account. It's not as bad at is sounds since the budgeting is going decently and we've got gas in the cars and groceries in the cupboards.
The best laid plans didn't go according to how we had hoped and a projected timeline. The money crunch is for the short-term, but weathering it with a positive attitude and sense of humor is the challenge of the moment.
I suppose zero-based budgeting does bring one close to zero. And we're closing in on the win with $1.68.
And so the story begins.

"Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen and six [pence], result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery."
Charles Dickens, David Copperfield
Glad you're on the winning side of the bargain, and welcome!
