I can remember not having the 25 cents to buy a canned Coke from the machine at college. Now, if my wife wants a steak for supper, I can take her out to get one without a second thought about whether I can afford it or not.
My current budget is 24 pages long. It's a table in WordPerfect, similar to a spreadsheet. I have every income and expense, along with the date and a running balance. It's nice seeing bigger balance numbers in coming years.
