Living on a budget has been hard, but so far I have been good. I haven't strayed from the budget and my credit card debt is slowly shrinking. With the new baby on the way, I took the time actually budget out the purchases I will make. I have time, not due until October, to purchase items one at a time. I really do have to start from scratch, as most of the old baby items were given away. Lol! I heard that happens alot.

My $20 challenge hasn't progressed from my last post. I have listed several books on amazon, half, and other textbook sites. So far no one is buying. They didn't cost me anything as I had them from college. I will have a few more boxes to go through. Maybe some other books will turn up that I can sell.
