I cut way back this year, managed to spend less in some areas, so that after xmas spending, I'd gone over my budget only by $100.00. Watching this, in the form of a spreadsheet, made me realize how hideously I've overspent each month and Dec always sent me over the edge, leaving me scratching my head and wondering, what the hell happened. Taking stock is new for me, and it's been quite an eye opener. But there is something very freeing about it, and I finally feel like I'm in the driver's seat. Thanks for the book, btw! It's been very good, but I page ahead now and then and see stuff about 401K's and IRA's and I just cringe. I'll be ready by the time I get to those pages, and I'm assuming it will be written with the handholding I've experienced so far. What's been going on with your paycheck is just insane. I've not had one problem paycheck with them. I don't get it. Dana The fact you are conscious of all this says heaps to me.
