What does it take to stick to a budget? What are some suggestions that you out there have used and really been helpful? I find that I get real motivated at first but then life gets busy and the budget starts to slip. tnaks to those slips i now have high interest rate unsecured personal loans to pay off... I need advice to help keep that motivation up and strong. What do you suggest?

Jayben,


There are some really good blogs out there with tips about sticking to a budget.  I've bookmarked a few of them and read the articles and tips from time to time to remind myself of why I want to keep a budget (I'm saving up for something).  Here are my favorite two websites that I've found so far.


Good luck!

Hey one more tip, don't use any kind of credit card.  This is the worst trap out.  Credit cards don't relive debt they just delay it.


Enjoy the holidays.
