Husband got his first big check. 
It could not have came at a better time, since our bills are about $120 over budget this month, and the $300 plumber bill. (Still have not got a hold of him yet. We are playing phone tag.)
Since our income will be changing, we finally sat down and I shared my budget plan.
This is a bi-weekly budget.
My Check $470
---------------------
House $100
Tithes $50
Lunches $30
Phone/Insurance $50
Gas $80
Savings $150
Remaining $10

Of course other expenses usually come up and eat some of my savings money. But I am hoping that with husband raise we will budget some discretionary money, and I wont have to eat into my savings.
His Check $860
---------------------
Bills/House $300
Food $150
Gas $100
Insurance/Phone $40
Tithes $90
Savings/Bills $50
Remaining $130
_______________________________
Our remaining money will be saved, used for date nights, and remodeling our house.

A maintenance fund was thought about. I am sure we will add that in the future. Right now it just comes out of our discretionary spending left over each month. I want to finish the EF before we start saving for too many things.
