Budget Meating

Yeah, I meant "meating".

So budgets are a funny thing. Some people need to be on them and aren't, some people need to be on them and are, some people don't need to be but they are...you know, takes all kinds.

But I was kinda thinking this idea might help those people who have a hard time managing what they spend. Instead of just going to the store with cash or a pre-filled out check, buy yourself some gift cards. If you had a $100 gift card to Safeway it would basically ensure you wouldn't spend more than $100 AND that you wouldn't spend it anywhere else. Checks could be crossed out and you could write a new amount. And cash can be spent wherever you want. But gift cards solve some of those problems.

I guess you could do the same thing with places like Target where you can easily spend more than you intended.
