What's The Plan, you ask? The Plan. You know?
The one that maximizes the next 147 days (uh, plus or minus) of salaried work that I have left until Baby Bean makes his or her appearance, along with the following 365 days of paid maternity leave.
The one that turns me into a mom at home instead of a mom at work.
The one that turns The Mrs into a personal finance blog.
Ha ha. Funny joke. Personal finance blogs don't have food in them, so no dice.
I might have already been using this spreadsheet since 2009, with one or two updates:
But now it's time to get (more) serious about tracking our expenses, with some new, let's-be-realistic categories written into the budget, including (gasp) $500 into savings every month.
Oh, I do love me a good spreadsheet.
Now to actually do it, instead of playing with cells and formulas...
Sigh.
