Just want to thank this group. Been a lurker and now an occasional poster. I review the forum daily.
The biggest accomplishment I have made is tracking my spending. I am self employed and my income fluctuates. I run a number of legitimate expenses through my business and I have used software to track that but I never kept track of my personal spending. Mainly because I was trying to create a budget.
I had a lightbulb moment here and decided to just track spending instead of income and no definitive budget. One year later... I have tracked every penny. (Eye opener)
Much more to learn...but I am proud of the past year accomplishment. Thanks to all!
