ABOUT THE NAKED LEDGER

  • After seven years as a personal financial consultant, I ditched the pantyhose to stay home with my toddler. I've written financial plans for more than 200 families and yet NEVER ONCE have I managed to successfully maintain my own family budget (much less actually FOLLOW it) for longer than a couple months. Now, I'm putting it all out there in an attempt to set myself straight by sheer force of the Internet. Watch me try!

THE BUDGET

  • MONTHLY BUDGET $1700
    Food $700, Dining Out $100, Entertainment $40, Gas $180, Household $200, Cash $80, Children $100, Clothes $150, Gifts $50, Other $100

I know! I love her poetry! You would think she is talking about my daughter (minus the scrotal area, of course).

Erin

I haven't been to Purple is a Fruit yet, but I'm going! I laughed so hard at the examples of her poetry you posted that I am crying. Too funny.

PS: also loved the video of Sister with the Etch-a-sketch. so cute!
