Footprints on the Moon

I spent forever and year tonight attempting to balance my checkbook. Something’s not right, but I can’t figure out what it is!! I was comparing my checkbook register to my online bank account. Nothing, nothing… I don’t know where the problem is! Well, I’ll figure it out. I get paid tomorrow though.
Amy, over at WhateverIFeelLike.com has inspired me to get my finances sorted out… she mentioned the whole paying yourself first thing on her blog. I used to pay myself first, but once I moved out, there were so many bills that it kind of fell by the wayside. Having practically zero money in your savings account is never a good thing. So starting tomorrow, I’m paying myself first, and then I’m going to worry about the rest of my bills. I’m going to have a healthy (well, healthier) balance in my savings account for the first time in a long time!!
What about you guys? Do you pay yourself first? Or do you only save money if there’s something left after everyone else has been paid?

Over and over today, I’ve been reading in my feed reader about the I Follow Movement. It’s about blogs who have installed a DoFollow plugin to strip the no-follow from comment links. I actually stripped the no-follow from my comments a little while back, so it was a no brainer that I’d join the movement and add a little badge to the sidebar to let you know that I’m Following You! You’ll see my badge just above the Top Commentors over there on the sidebar! So everytime you comment on my blog, there is a valid link to yours left.
