Breakfast ($1)
Lunch ($0)
Dinner ($23)
Poker (-$39)
Total: $63...$31 over budget. This is all due to poker. I was card dead but played disciplined. Under the circumstances this was not bad.

For the week I am ($115-$31)= $84 ahead for the week. Sunday should be under budget, so it looks like I am going to hit my goal of being under budget by at least $75 this week.

I really need to figure out a way to set aside some seed money for my casino bank roll. Right now is probably not the best time for this as I have so many other important things to save for right now. Additionally I have read that you don't necessarily need to have a bank roll set aside if you are only a recreational player. But I think this runs counter to my newfound thoughts on saving and budgeting. Whether a recreation like poker brings in money or loses money it is imperative to track where the money is going.
