My husband and I are trying to do the pay ourselves 10% thing, so I used Quicken yesterday to write up a budget according to our basic needs (I thought it was pretty strict anyway), and of course it left us in the red by about that 10% that we want to save - grumble, grumble, grumble.
I know we can make it work, and I've probably just got to go back to the drawing board here. I've heard that once the money you save is out of sight and mind, most people magically manage to make their budgets work anyway...is that true? Should I just hide that money and see what happens?
