The budget light went on


I still can’t believe it!!?? You know that feeling when you have been teaching one of your children something (like math) when all of a sudden the light just turns on. Well we had a budget moment with my daughter this weekend. We were at Wal-Mart walking down through the toy section when the usual calls for everything on the isle began…but this time it was all about the Wizard of Waverly shoes. But mom, they are only $20…so I blurted out, “How much do you have on your page?” (we still call our categories pages because we used to use the notebook budgeting system on pages) The response back was, “20 dollars”. So I told her she had enough to buy the shoes, but all of a sudden the talking stopped and the lights turned on in her head. She realized that if she bought the shoes, she would not have any money left….
