A year in review
January
$1000 credit card bill; Wow!  Did I really spend that much?  Who and what did I spend the money on?  Better get down to paying that off.
February
We need to get away from this cold weather.  We should go somewhere warm - $3000 for the family.  Not bad; we will pay for it later.
March
Two family birthday gifts, food and fun - $200.  We really need to get a handle on this spending.
April
The fence needs some repairs and the brakes on the car need replacing - $2000.  Ouch!
May
Summer is here and I want to spruce up the flowerbeds - $100 for garden supplies. We really need to get a handle on this spending!
June
Our anniversary was a very special night out; a great climax to a very successful year - $200.
July
City taxes; forgot to prepay them over the year - $2000.   Family in town - $300 for extra food and wine. 
August
One week family camping vacation - $400 for the gas, site rental, water toys.
September
School starts; clothes, supplies and fees - $100 x 2 kids = $200
October
Free and easy.  Oh yeah, those bills!
November
New winter tires - $500.  Forgot they need replacing.  Better get on top of the bills.
December
Christmas parties, new dress, tickets to events - $300.  Oh well, it was a good time.
