My First Budget

I finally got the finances/money issue worked out with mom.  Turns out that making and actually writing down a budget/expense report was all she wanted.  it also turns out that it was the best thing I could've done because I was able to actually see where my money is going each month and how much is being spent in each category as well as how much I have in savings.  With this knowledge I can plan for expenses appropriately and responsibly and not ever back myself into a corner and wind up not being able to pay my rent or some other bill.  Plus with a full overview of all my expenses, we were able to agree on a set amount I get every month for play money.  So I have play money now!!!  I'm glad that not only did the situation resolve itself, but I also benefitted from the outcome and feel good about that outcome.
