Getting through

February 22nd, 2013 at 08:31 pm

I am really looking forward to having no debt. It would feel great to have extra money at the end of the week. I filled up my gas tank and kept an extra $10 just in case. I have our mortgage payment ready...paying extra. Have to pay misc bills, buy dog food, and our $20 out to eat splurge. I'm left with $11. Even putting a tiny bit in savings. I just can't wait until I don't have debt.


So very randomly my sister asked me to house/animal sit. I have to stay overnight 2 nights, but she is willing to pay me $150.00. Interesting that the cost of my brake repair happens to be about $150.00! So we will be taking the money from Savings and replacing it in 2 weeks after I complete the job. I'm still not ahead, but at least I am not behind. And luckily I didn't have to try to shave off more from my budget these next couple of weeks.


But in 3 weeks we have an extra pay period. Although, it really isn't extra. But there will be a little bit of wiggle room. I'm going to add a little bit of a cushion to my jars, put some in savings, pay extra on my credit cards, and maybe have a little leftover.


And our shop is getting busier. So maybe I can start to pay myself just a little bit. HOPEFULLY!

    I love it when unexpected money matches unexpected expenses!

    You might consider paying down your credit card debt before your mortgage. You will be out of credit card debt much faster if you focus on one at a time.

    Rena, I'm not sure if you know but I've made extra mortgage principal of $7 before. Every little counts and you will be one step closer to paying off your mortgage. I'm glad the pet sitting will help you pay for the break job.
