In reply to Deacon. I've been saving for a trip I plan to take in the spring and it's nice to have that to look forward too without having to take on any debt.

In reply to Centsai. Exactly! I know I'm going to spend money on some things no matter how much I try to limit my spending these days, so I like to save up for it now.

A sinking fund is a great idea! This way if you are prone to over spending, you always have that as a back up and don’t have to take money out from any of your other savings accounts!

Sinking Funds are amazing! We have been using those for about 6 years (although I call them Countdown Funds) and it is allowed to travel to some really cool places around the world. All because we set aside some money each month for a specific goal. Great post!

Hi Fiona!

We are all human and we are going to make mistakes. However, when we minimize the spending mistakes, and maximize our efficiency with money, good things will happen 🙂

In reply to Athena. Hi Athena! Blow funds are an absolute must for our family :) It gives us that needed wiggle room!

I need a blow fund! I spend a lot on eating out even though I am way better than I used to be either because I didn’t plan as well as I thought or I don’t want to eat leftovers again. Maybe if I tell myself I have x amount of money to spend, I’ll be better about it.

Thank you Chris for that article. I was feeling terrible and thought ‘there must be something wrong with me!’ It was that slip this July.. I’ĺl get right into working to get back on track.

Hi Gabriela!

The point of today’s post was to remind us that life happens. We are going to make mistakes with our money, we may overspend, and we are eventually going to have that “oh crap” moment. However, when we start paying attention to our money, those “of crap” moments are few and far between AND we now have a plan to bounce back, right!?

In reply to Gabriela. I'm glad you found it helpful. I tend to struggle with sales and overspending at this time of year too.
