Week 3: I don't know what I'm doing

I feel like I dont know what I am doing with this whole budgeting thing. I have tried and failed every tips and trick on the books. However, I wont give up. Im sure there is something out there that will work eventually.

On a lighter note: This week actually was pretty productive. One more week to add where I didnt use any credit cards and I was able to finally set up my medical benefits (medical, vision and dental) which totals to about $45 a bi-weekly. Plus, a 5% deduction for the 401k. Definitely need to budget those in. I also need to start adding an "Entertainment" budget added.

I have an interview tomorrow for a marketing part time job. This should help out on experience and help pay off remaining bills. I am still sticking to my goals

- Personal Loan pay off 5k
- Emergency Fund $1000

I am building a NEW budget now :)
