    That one whooshed right over your head eh? He’s saying that chickens families are not, in fact, the same as human families. They don’t form a family unit with bonds above those of other chickens. It’s mostly because they’re chickens…and not humans and it was a dumb comparison for PETA to try and make.

    Pointing out how chickens relate to other chickens does not mean it’s an endorsement for cruelty…you stretched big time for that one.




  • Don’t worry, I’ll go first.

    So I ultimately agree that the first thing to do is to recognize your known amounts. I start with a simple Excel spreadsheet and begin with known monthly income amounts first. Fixed or relatively consistent income gets it’s own row. Then I try to think about other sources of income that I make throughout the year (if any) and then average that to a monthly amount.

    Next I start with all of my known fixed expenses. Mortgage/rent, car payments, insurance, etc. Next comes known variable expenses like gas, groceries, etc. I always average out the last few months and try to lean towards a higher amount to be conservative. Last, I try to always budget for unexpected expenses. Vehicle maintenance, child injury, unexpected bachelor party…you name it, but every month on average SOMETHING unexpected comes along.

    What I’m left with, I divide by 30 days to figure out what I can spend on a daily basis. Some days I spend over, sometimes way under…but this gives me a good idea every day on how I should be doing for the month. I find it helps to have that “per day” thought in your mind at all times!
