With actual numbers?<br /><br />I rely on my "sixth sense" which doesn't exactly tell me how much is in my account, but it does tell me (more or less) when I can spend money or not. <br /><br />However, I often find that this sense is not so accurate after all. But its better than the math.

And then I say "I'll see if I have money after my next paycheck." So I leave the window open for several days, looking at it multiple times each day to drool over the yarn. Then payday comes! "Hooray!" you think. "This is when she buys the yarn!" Nope. I pay the bills, do the math to see what I still have in my bank account, mentally subtract a little for groceries....and 90% of the time I close the window. <br /><br />I find it's easier not to buy yarn when you don't actually have the money. :-(Rachaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616651164087505255.post-13353563268723622452010-02-11T19:42:24.173-05:002010-02-11T19:42:24.173-05:00Yeah, I'd definitely scream.
