Wow! I only went $44.83 over what I had wanted to spend. That was awesome - especially considering that last month's budget was twice as large as this month. I figured out my secret - I need to take out the money for my spending as soon as possible and NOT use my debit card. The reason I went over was because I did use my debit card. The reason it was only $44.83 over was because I took the money out and used my debit card in extreme cases.
Otherwise, here's how I'm doing so far this year:
