Spending Control

Despite budgeting for incidentals and moving expenses, the worst thing about the move from renting to owning has been the loss of control on the spending schedule.

It's not an issue of not having funds to cover the expenses it's the part where it feels like every time you blink you have to dole out another $100. Like this past week we had to pick up some yard tools, a chain saw, thermostats, lights, groceries, extra gas, rental truck. and the list goes on. The part that bugs me about this is that it is spread out day after day after day. For me it would feel easier if I could just pay one large lump sum and be done with all the shopping for the transition.

So now 2 weeks into the transition, the end is in site and soon we will be done with apartment renting for good.
