Here is my test budget to use for June. Today is June 1st and I already lost...lol. I had to buy a new battery for the lawn mower..$150. This would fall into the unaccounted expenses category. Of course I have savings to cover things like this, but as the goal is to stay in budget that is unfortunate to have that expense on the first of the month.
Mortgage $1005
Heat/Air/Electric $150
Water $50
Cellphone $50
Gym $25
Internet $50
Car Insurance $50
Fuel $100
Groceries $100
Netflix $15
Going out/beer $75
Unaccounted Expenses $55
CVS $25
Total Expenses $1700
On a personal note from last night....I went out with several friends, mainly a couple that have been dating for a lil over a year I believe... He has been my and DHs friend for about 4 years and have seen him with a few gfs. I really like this one, she is fun and bold and they seem great together. She is divorced and I was glad to be out with someone that has been through this. I'm not gonna lie...I got HAMMERED...and I didn't care. And I told them that me and DH are getting divorced. They were already aware of some of the issues from gossip/rumors about DHs mistakes....and they have seen some of his drunk mess-ups first hand. They took me home to stay with them since we were in the town over from mine (where they live) and obviously I was in no shape to drive. Put me to bed on the couch and they went upstairs to bed. Then the BF comes back down sits on the couch next to me and slides his hand up my shorts...WTF??? Is everyone a cheater??? Starting to think I need a separate blog just for all the damn drama. So that was a crappy end to my night...especially when he knew I was so bombed and that my mind is so scrambled and vulnerable right now. Told him to go to bed, he said he would rather stay and play with me. UGH. He did go to bed but WTF. Seriously can't trust anyone.

Regarding your budget, there is ALWAYS something unplanned popping up. Track those extra expenses for awhile, and then you will have a better idea how much you need to build in to your monthly budget.

It was really boggling my mind thinking about this today cause honestly I never felt he was interested and he and his GF are so good together....so I texted him today, I said "You really surprised me on Saturday night. I don't understand where that came from?" It really put me in a crap position because I don't want to tell his GF and cause a big mess, but at the same time, if people would have told me what DH was doing then I could've avoided a LOT of heartache and tears. His response "yeah I can't lie you looked DAMN good in those shorts. it probably wasn't the smartest decision ive ever made given my situation. Thats not the guy I am honestly, I don't do stuff like that. I cant say I regret it, but I just know I shouldn't have"
So I guess it sucks, but I think he realized right away that was a bad move. I don't foresee any more issues and at this time am not going to tell the GF. I just don't want anymore drama in my life. Apparently the only way for me to have no drama is to be a hermit.

Really? I've found that when men say things like this - they usually aren't true. Especially added to the follow on text. Ugh, I feel for you, Banker Gurl.

I think that if you don't want "an opportunity will come up again haha", you should just avoid him in the future.

Seriously, what kinda "friends" is this??
You don't need to be a hermit - you just need to find some old, widowed, ladies to hang with.
