Update :)

August 1st, 2011 at 07:50 pm

On a positive note....Florida was amazing. We had such a good time just hanging out and spent a day at the beach with just ourselves some new friends and a cooler of drinks. I didn't go over budget at all. Smile

This week brought on a new budgeting dilemma. Celebrating my step daughter's birthday early. Because of my husband's travel and her starting school we had to throw together a family party and buy gifts earlier than I was planning. I spent $50.00 more than I should have, but we were able to have presents, go to dinner, and provide a little family party with desserts at my house. So not too bad.

My debt numbers have gone up for one of my cards....it is the devil! I had an unexpected birthday gift. I fall into the trap. I should have taken the money from savings....but I just can't bring myself to do it. I think its time for the cards to leave my wallet.

CC1 - $798.26 --- $736.22
CC2 - $595.13 --- $567.58
CC3 - $288.65 --- $248.69 YIKES!!!
Student Loan - $4113.59 --- $3918.09

    You owe a grand total of $1,552.49 on all 3 cards and are putting $1,500.00 per month in savings. I suggest that in August you skip the savings contribution and pay all 3 cards in full, saving yourself a small fortune in interest.

    Glad you had a good time in Florida, congrats on sticking to your budget!
