Financial Transparency : 30 Day Trial

August is going to my ‘Financial Transparency Month’. Several of the blogs on my blogroll include their budget and spending information. The main reason is for them to hold themselves accountable. I noticed that several of them have gotten out of debt and are now saving money. I definitely want to do well financially and so I decided to test drive this. I already do this at home with my husband, but it’s definitely a different step to share this on a blog.            At the end of this month, I’ll review the status and decide if this is the way to go for me. Personal finance is definitely personal, so just because it worked for others doesn’t mean it’ll work for me. Please leave any suggestions if you see anything that I could fix with my current budgeting. Thanks and have a great day.
