I get so irked when my budget doesn’t turn out perfectly for the month. My husband and I have been doing Dave Ramsey’s plan for a little over a year, and I don’t think we’ve ever had a perfect budgeting month. But what I have found is that, although imperfect, budgeting every month has helped us manage our money so much better. We haven’t had a month yet where we didn’t find some amount of surplus to throw at debt.

Good luck to you on your “zero net worth” goal!

I didn’t encounter him at all. This happened at 0130am or so. The neighbors out back said it was a group walking down the alley, he went over and knocked it over (purposely or not, whatever), and one of the other guys yelled at him to not make so much noise while he pisses.

I’d like to know where you’re encountering all these drunks? Not much to do in your town?

I lived off campus because that school didn’t have jack for housing. Couldn’t find a job for the life of me, though.

Not quite the same, but last weekend I stopped at WalMart in the middle of a ride and a baseball team or somesuch was selling hotdogs and hamburgers out front. I was thoroughly hungry. Dollar hotdogs. Many were had.

Another thing I did as a student was to take advantage of the church lunches provided on campus. On my campus there were three churches who served lunch for $1 a plate and while it was not the most nutritious meal (usually 2-3 slices of pizza, a soda and a fruit cup) it was filling and kept you fed for one meal….or two if you paid for two and took one home. Some churches provided a complete meal every now and then and that was even better than getting just pizza.
