Well, my DH and I had our first setback in YNAB. We have only been using it for about 3 weeks, and (thought) we were finally getting the hang of it.
Every Friday evening (when we get paid) we have our weekly 'budget meeting' and determine what we need to spend for the week. Then on Saturday morning, we stop at the ATM across from our grocery store and take out the cash for our envelopes and then do our grocery shopping. We had seperated cash for our cats litter and for them to get groomed. Well, we had cash for all of that stuff and went to SAMS club, but the register that we waited forever for only took credit/debit. So, instead of waiting like we should have - we just used the debit card and said we would redeposit the cash for later use.
Long story short - I don't know how, but somehow throughout the day we screwed up and our budget wasn't matching up by $30. We had done a lot of stupid money 'shifting' throught the day and we really confused ourselves.
So, we learned a valuable lesson about ONLY using the cash allocated for THAT specific thing. I think we were getting too comfortable and thought we knew what we were doing. It was nice that it kind of put us back in our place, and we now know that we need to be more careful.
Still loving YNAB, and definitely plan to buy it once the trial is up.
In other news, I am starting training for my second job on May 12th. I am nervous about giving up all my free time, but if I can dedicate to it - we are hoping to be almost debt free (minus our largest snowball debt, and the mortgage) by this time next year.
