My #pennyperpage for August. I should be more in the red, but I decided the books I bought in August don‘t count. August is my birthday month & this year I turned 40, so I get all the books!

New method for tracking my #pennyperpage, which is great, but I‘m still in the red. I decided souvenir books bought on vacation don‘t count in my numbers.
My #pennyperpage June #wrapup. I didn‘t buy any books!!!
Catching up on my May stats. Still in the red with my #pennyperpage. To be fair, it was buy one get one 1/2 off, and This Tender Land was a #newyearwhodis pick for me and then my book club picked it as a selection for the upcoming year. (Side note - if I finish all the books I‘m currently reading I would only be down $4.35. Maybe I have too many books going?)
Independent Bookstore Day really did me in this month. I would have been in the black had I not supported my local indies. Totally worth it. Next month, no new books. #pennyperpage #pennyperpagefail
And my #pennyperpage March wrap up. I‘m in the red and here are the culprits. The goal in April is to dig myself out of the hole. Maybe I should work on the chunksters I have on my nightstand.
Forgot to post my #pennyperpage stats! Bought an audiobook, but other than that did pretty good. However I was just looking at Libro.fm‘s sale section and they have some good ones!
I wanted to do something creative in my bujo for #pennyperpage, but when I figured out how many squares I would need to color in to make it work, I went with this instead! I figure I will subtract the amount for books bought.
Mine would be $504. That's a pretty nice book allowance! #scarathlon #teamslaughter @Clwojick
I posted about this book a year ago. I‘ve been using the YNAB app almost a year and it‘s awesome how I know how every $ is spent and how to make financial priorities-to hold myself accountable! I used to say #moneystootight but it‘s different now

It seems that there are plenty of people who have gleaned something from this book. I'm not one of them and I don't recommend it. It isn't awful, but I'm not the target audience, I guess.
I just started the tagged book via Libby because I‘ve followed the advice of the pictured book too many times to count.

Things I get to do as a moderately adulty adult: decide that bean bag furniture is absolutely valid. I‘ve wanted one of these for years, and every time I sit on it, I giggle.
Also, if you‘ve ever considered hiring a financial coach, AKA a money boss (who doesn‘t actually boss you at all), I highly recommend The Wiser Miser. #goals #adulting #yogibo #neuroqueer #ififitsisits
My budget for home decor includes this lampshade I found at this amazing lamp repair and antiques shop around the corner. It really ties the room together. 😋 Also, we‘ve decided that my new aesthetic is gramdma chic.
Been using YNAB for a while but it just clicked this past pay period. Listening to the book for added info. Testing post speed.
This is why I made myself choose only one #BOTM, and promptly put my second choice on hold at the library 🤣 #workingonit #stillnumber3onholdlist
This is a good beginners book to budgeting. I‘m still new at managing my money and this was a good way to start. About six months ago, I tracked my spending but didn‘t get past that. I think now I can after reading this book. Some examples are too simple and some chapters did not apply to me, but overall a pick.
This was interesting! We already use this software for budgeting, but I‘ve always felt like I was missing something. And I was! I look forward to “starting fresh” with a new understanding and a new budget after our upcoming vacation. That said, there were parts of this that I felt strongly don‘t mesh with my outlook.
Not really necessary to pick up if you read the blog or listen to the podcast but it‘s nice to have everything in one spot. It‘s a fast read and one I‘m happy I picked up from the library instead of buying.
What credit card has a free pony as a reward?!? Someone please let me know, I need to get one immediately.
The cover is somewhat misleading. It teaches you the rules of the YNAB system, but doesn‘t really get into the nitty gritty of what this magical budget actually looks like. I can‘t use the app because I refuse to surrender my account information, so not getting a better idea of how this system actually looks was disappointing. Sort of felt like a long intro. That said, the ideas are good. Just difficult to implement as presented. #financialreads
