Even if debt isn’t an issue for you right now, there’s a good chance that it could become one in the future unless your very careful. Whether you are in debt now or if your looking to prevent yourself from falling victim to it, you may want to start budgeting. Creating a budget for yourself is a simple process and will help keep you out of debt or even get you out of debt.

A budget is a tool that can be used to make sure that debt is no longer an issue for you. By creating a budget your able to track your spending, as well as ensure that all needed expenses like your car insurance or your mortgage will get paid. This also gives you the opportunity to examine how much extra money you have each month, money that you could put towards repaying your debt or put in a savings account.

You can find budget templates online to use. These free resources are nice, but you may only want to use them as a starting point. You will probably want to create your own budget format because not all individuals lead the same live or have the same expenses to take care of. For instance, a budget template for those in New York City may not necessarily call for car payments or auto insurance, but if you had a vehicle, you will need these sections displayed on your budget.

You should take the time to create a budget for each month of the year because a budget allows you to account for your spending in advance. If you have a birthday party in July that you need to attend, you may need to account for buying a gift. Creating individual budgets for each month of the year may seem like a complicated process, but it doesn’t have to be. It may take a few extra minutes, but those few minutes are worth it.

You will want to start by outlining all expenses that you must pay for on a monthly basis. These expenses are the ones you can’t go without paying, like rent, mortgage, renters insurance, homeowners insurance, auto insurance, auto loan payments, groceries, and your utility bills. These are the expenses that must be paid, no matter what.

Once you have a detailed list of important expenses you can focus on the next level of importance like internet access or cable television. If you are just looking to save money, possibly to put into a savings account, you should be able to continue paying these expenses without any problems. On the other hand, if you are looking to dig yourself out of all of the unpaid debt that you have accumulated, it may be a good idea to go without internet access unless you have a internet business or cable television even if it is just for a short period of time.

You can also use your budget to determine how much extra money you will have each month. You can do this if you work the same hours or if your pay is salary based. Once you have totaled up all of the expenses, you can subtract that from the amount of money that you bring home from work each week. If you have extra money you may want to consider putting that towards your debt or saving, just in case.

A few years ago I was given a baby wolf and the short time I was around him I simply fell in love. He wasn’t full bred though, but I had the papers for him through someone that did that sort of thing. He was only 3 weeks old in the picture below and he was so smart. I was planning on moving down where he was going to be kept and my friend Sarge had two full grown wolves that he built a large compound for and the baby was to be put in with them because Sarge assured me that they would accept him.

Well guess what? The most horrendous thing I ever saw in my life was this big white mama wolf clamping down on my poor pitiful baby. It took me a long time to get over that and I feel like paying tribute to the poor little wolf that would have been so smart had he had the chance. He was so beautiful and these animals grow twice as fast and develop quicker than our regular dogs. They are of course illegal, but down south they get around that by registering them as a German mix. He’s no longer around, but will always be in my heart. His Father had one blue eye and one brown and I think his would have been the same.

Bill’s son thought he was going to start a side business of breeding his English bulldogs a few years back and he found out along with the rest of the family that had to help take care of them that it was a bigger job than they had expected. Lola had 11 or 12 pups can’t remember exactly how many, but I know it was a horrible mess and as far as I’m concerned if your not licensed as a kennel and have the proper space you shouldn’t be breeding dogs just because you think you can make easy money because there’s a lot more to it than that. Here’s a picture of Lola the Mommy and the first shift and it was not a fun experience, but they were adorable. Thank Goodness they all got good homes, but

if your going to purchase a pet then you should purchase from a certified USDA kennel. There are way too many puppy mills out there and it’s a crime how a lot of these poor animals are treated, but I don’t want to get into that. There are a lot of fine kennels out there and Salt Creek Kennel looks like a good one and they have puppies for sale and they try to meet all AKC standards. They breed Maltese, Yorkies, English bulldogs, and French bulldog puppies and every pup has a 1 year health warranty and are vet certified. They will also arrange shipment to an airport near you. These folks welcome all inquires.

I bought my Eskie from a pet shop and luckily it was a reputable shop that only purchased from certified kennels and breeders. I wanted a pet and not a show dog or a dog to breed so I had my Shadow fixed early, but he is 9 now and I’m wishing I could have had one of his pups.
