Tight week

September 7th, 2012 at 03:26 pm

This past week we had some unexpected expenses - termite treatment (do it yourself kind), household items, and one of our insurance policies went up. So when I got paid today, I went ahead and did all my financial planning and paying...transferred money away for our utility bills, paid credit card payments, accounted for car insurance coming out in a week. And I have $2.96 left. I even took out cash for us to eat out once this week and filled my car up with gas. So I am hoping that I still have $2.96 left next Friday. Luckily I have groceries and I think I have $10 in my "Food" jar at home in case we need milk or something along those lines. But it will be a tight week. But next week will be better.


And even though I am saving for Christmas and my husband's birthday right now, I will be able to pay 4x the minimum on my 3 credit cards in October. I feel like I'm doing ok.

    4xminimum is better than only the minimum!! Keep up the great work. If you are left with those $3...add it to next months payment. Smile

    So sorry your insurance premiums went up, that stinks. Lately, that seems to be happening but it doesn't lead to an increase in coverage, you know what I mean? Frown Great job on the CC payments, anyway!
