Whoo-hoo!?!


No more whoo-hoo in WaMu. 
Yep, our bank failed today. 
I love being an adult. 
(That's right little boy, let's play hide-and-seek! Oh wait, are they just playing peek-a-boo? with our money? It's all fun and games until the bank goes and fails.... i mean seriously, that's the picture they choose to reassure me that it's totally business as usual.... sigh)

But they were on sale...

We're on a super "let's get organized financially" kick right now, and are trying this amazing new website that's like an online version of Quicken except much prettier and fun. It's soooo easy to set a budget, track expenses by category and i'm now super obsessed with our cash vs. credit card 
debt. The best part is that they create tons of random graphs and charts for you so you can see exactly what percentage of your income you spend on things like "Entertainment" and "Dining and Restaurants". 

So what's the most interesting 'trend' i've discovered?
  
                
Ummmmm.... crap. I guess we just like food. Or as nate would say
 "I could've saved more but i ran out of money."
