Monday Night Football on a budget

One of my buddies was telling me a little trick he and his wife use to keep up on their budget. They are some of the best coupon users I have ever seen. Drive by their house on a Sunday morning and you will find 5 Sunday papers in their driveway. It may seem funny to you, but they are laughing all the way to the bank.
Every Monday night during monday night football, my buddy watches the game with scissors in his hands to cut out all the coupons he can find. Just a little football game for him turns into hundreds of dollars of savings each month. His wife is happy that he is helping with the coupons, he gets to watch football with no interruptions, and they both are making their budget grow and grow.

MEET MY SISTER --

In 1988 I was living in Oregon with my husband and 2 small children. We were living paycheck to paycheck and never seemed to have extra money. Even when we had a little money set aside, something always came up (insurance premiums, car repairs) to eat up our savings.

I developed a budgeting system that helped us save automatically and incorporated a kind of mini-savings approach. Within a couple of months I knew I was on to something. My categories were growing and I felt calm about our finances. My brothers and sisters started referring to it as “my sister’s budget”.

After 18 years and much encouragement and support from my siblings, we bring this system to you in its original notebook and software form.
