Big changes in how I spent my money the past two months and what the next three months are going to be like: Daily changes at the gas pump around the corner, waiting for the new quarterly real estate tax bill, grocery store sticker shock, and anticipating next month's pre pay oil bill All the more reason to keep my eye on the money. Good luck to you. I’ve been distracted, too.

All the more reason to keep my eye on the money.
Good luck to you.

Slump is another fine word for it. Same here, I think this ‘funk’ feeling is also due to lower savings rates, investing slowdown, and general economic slump. Slump is another fine word for it.

I had a mental breakdown, really (hospital and all) and working on myself right now. I got to Boston for a few days, already paid for, and when we get back, we are totally getting back on track with saving. Good luck with your path! :) I took have lost track of PF and savings.

For me, the key is to keep your eye on the big picture and not get distracted with the little things. It’s easy to get off track with a busy life.

My wife and I finished paying off our debt, got a little bit in an emergency fund and now we've stalled a little bit. We've had some unexpected medical expenses and it's been nice to pay for those with cash (without having to use our EF) but now it's time to get focused and save with the same energy we used to pay off our debt.

We all slip sometimes ... it's hard to think about finances all the time and keep up the same intensity. My husband and I have to regroup too, as our house sale fell through. Our budget fro June needs to change dramatically. Thanks for the inspiration! Great post! We all slip sometimes … it’s hard to think about finances all the time and keep up the same intensity.

I've been personally spending too much on new computers and such, so that I can write about saving money... pretty silly, eh?
