no money day

January 22nd, 2006 at 06:33 pm

And, another no money spent day. Love these. If I rack up a bunch of them..........hmmmm, doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out I'm saving money!

I will be sending a check off tomorrow, for a 50% deposit on some landscaping. I'm not doing it myself.........reclaiming the land is beyond me. There are no gardens here, so it is going to take WORK & I want some help. The company I'm using, has been bringing their trimmings from other jobs and dumping them here for me. So, I'm getting half off the total anyway. Can't pass that up. Looking forward to having some plants here!!!

Pondering the idea of keeping track of my expenses in a more detailed fashion. I've always tracked the bills...........but no tracking of my pocket money. I include things like my haircut, groceries that aren't covered by the tenant and the inevitable fast food. I could loose weight & save more money if I decided to NOT do the fast food. I quit buying coffee out a couple years ago & I could see a big difference in my cash...........didn't miss the coffee either.
Not sure what method to use..........read here about people recording all their receipts on a weekly basis...that might work, if I remembered to get a receipt.
I do have to come up with a bookkeeping system for C & my new job here with him. Not sure how to set that up either.
By the end of this month, I'd better have a start on both, huh? Can't be waiting til summer to try & figure out a system. Better to have something in place & be able to add or tweak it, than to not have anything going at all.

Waiting for the money to start coming in from leasing the pasture here. Nice addition to the income line............as well as a wonderful lift to look out and see 4 horses cavorting around in my pasture. I'm learning so much about them already.....as well as learning about myself. Basically pretty lazy here, already thinking I wouldn't like taking care of the horses if they were mine. This arrangement might be the best way to be close to them, but not have bottom line responsibility for them. I should start asking about the cost to keep the horses.........the money might be the real scary part to this hobby.

Dinner from the freezer today..............all meals already prepared, just need to take them out, heat them up and add a salad & fruit. Love days like this.
