the cost of cash!

Last months numbers were pretty darn amazing if I do say so myself.
I was monitoring my financial picture based on my bank statements.
Here we go:

Tolls $19.00/$28.00
Gas $140.00 / $140.00
Groceries $140.00 / $52.01
Meds $39.00 / $17.60
Travel $200.00 / $214.78

Then there was the cash:
Budgeted $50.00 for extras - spent ?? $733.76

This month I'm keeping track of receipts and writing everything down. I'm not being compulsive because I read an article the other day that said when people write down everything they buy, they actually spend more than they normally would. So far my spending is way down for this month. I have a more lax budget because I'll be on vacation from July 22- July 31 in California and Oregon. Can't wait..

Either way the cash situation needs to be fixed.. big time!
