THE BUDGET



If you know Chris well you know about THE BUDGET, you have heard about THE BUDGET, you have been told you need THE BUDGET...in some way you have probably been preached to about THE BUDGET. THE BUDGET rules over our family with an iron fist. If THE BUDGET says no, well then there is nothing that can be done about that.

Well since July I have been wanting to take a family trip to the beach. I thought Christian would enjoy it since he had so much fun playing in the water in Colorado. Well THE BUDGET put a quick stop to that. Actually the Wenck Family 365 Day Cash Flow Budget 2007 said we were have a negative cash flow situation. THE BUDGET even started to demand more money because we were in the negative. The recommendation was made the I cut back my personal allowance. Well there would be none of that... I have to hold onto every penny THE BUDGET gives me. So we went of a money diet. We wrote down everything we spent money on for a week. The idea was to see where we were over spending.

Last night in the midst of Chris updating THE BUDGET these words were spoken..."Uh hey babe, I think I found something". Turns out there was a HUGE error in the Wenck Family 365 Cash Flow Budget 2007 and we are back in the black...by a lot.

The official company line is something like this.

The Wenck Office of Management and Budget restated its accountability targets after finding a huge error related to a Spreadsheet formula error.

So now I am being asked, do you want to go to the beach? Do you want to get that new monitor? Do you want to go to Sea World? What do you want to?

So we are going to Vegas (Baby)!!! The perfect place when you find some money...go to a place you are sure to spend it all !!!! Actually there is a confernce in Vegas that I wanted to attend but at the time THE BUDGET said Chris couldn't go because we just couldn't afford it.
