#88 Use my budget for three consecutive months, tracking all purchases: 2nd month!

I  LOVE MY BUDGET!!!  I seriously love using a budget.  It's freeing.  I love knowing where I've spent my money and how much more I have left.  It's freeing.  And this way works for me.  Maybe if I had a smart phone I'd find an app and do it on that, but I don't.  So the 3x5 card method works great for me!  I previously made a budget on a googledoc.  Now I just hold myself to it and track my purchases on the 3x5 card.  Last month I went over, so this month I gave myself a little more.  I gave myself $450, and only spend $407!  Of course, being out of town for half the month helped...  I went home to CA, where I didn't have to pay for food or gas (except for my portion of the gas to get down there).  I'm excited to see how the new numbers work out this month (August), as I will be here the whole month.  I plan on doing this even past my 3 month goal...I like it.  I want this to be a lifestyle.

Here's the evidence of my past month:
