Mouth Closed Shut (from now on, anyways)...
Look, we make good money... We paid our credit cards off... We are paying our collections off... We have money left over @ the end of the money.... We don't spend all crazy like... Except for when it comes to eating out.
Why do we do this to ourselves?
Seriously.
I know better. I do. I know what needs to be done... (meal planning, shopping, stop being lazy & make lunches for the kids and hubby)...
I knew it was getting a little out of hand; we've been eating Subway at least once a week...usually when it's a school night for me.
I can't sleep... so I decided to pull the info from our joint bank account.
This does not include meals/eating out paid for by DH's debit card or cash.
Just our joint.
And just since August 1.
Not even three full months.

Plus think of the health reasons to start cooking at home. Of course this is all easy for me to say since DH has done 95% of the shopping and cooking for the last 28 years!
Seriously I have a lot of sympathy for working women who have to cook too. I like to think I could have done it somehow, but who knows.

Tell you what, I'll stop if you stop. Let's see how it goes. God bless.
