Budgeting Blues

I am not good with numbers.  My brain struggles with mathematical concepts and refuses to focus on wringing a result out of a group of numbers.  That's why the concept of budgeting has eluded me for so long. 

However, at Bridges Clubhouse, Kerry has used words to get across the ideas on which budgeting is based.  He showed a group of us how to put spending into a list of descriptions, with a total. 

I set to work at home with my computer, and studied my spending habits and necessary costs, and came up with a series of financial sheets which made me realize what I was wasting on unnecessary spending.
