Mark – I just finished April’s report last night, and was going to post it tonight. You know what? I think I REALLY like your idea about percentages. I’ve never looked at our spending in that manner. Hmmm…

Hey, thanks for reading my comment!!!

Perhaps there is a happy medium? Maybe if you consolidated your spending into fewer categories and used percentages instead of actual dollars? This would still give a good picture without revealing exact dollar amounts (i.e. your actual mortgage payment). I am looking forward to the reports.

I’ve been wrestling with exact same issue myself – how much do you disclose? I guess its personal for everyone.

I feel the same way about posting my financial information, not in regards to a potential employer. The idea of so much personal information here is a little overwhelming.

I track my money spending and for myself I don’t like how I’m spending it, so I’m changing it. I really appreciate that you’ll post yours. You’ve done so well on getting your debt down I’m really interested in seeing how my poor spending (improving) compares to yours.

Thanks.
