August Ramblings/Rants/Totals/Thoughts, etc....

September 2nd, 2006 at 02:16 am

Lets see:

*Got my reply on the loan I applied for. Asked for 10,000, got 2,500. Whoppee freakin doo! At least it is 2500 at 0%. Will go it awhile and see if they will raise it.

*Paid off another CC.

*Husband is screaming he wants to leave his job. Not sure how to approach this. Told him to hang in there. He still won't refinance, which would really take a lot of stress off both of us.

*Kept track of my expenses in my little book this month. They were big ugly numbers:
Groceries-$500 for a family of five. Not horrible, but considering I shop sales and use coupons, I'm not impressed with myself.
Gas- $180. This is high to me since I am a part time working mom. The kids have to be run everywhere and with soccer, well.....
Eating Out - I was a little proud of myself on this one. I really tried hard this month. It was $400. At least it was less than the grocery bill total! And we had a birthday dinner included in that.
Clothes - $110. We NEVER spend this much, just back to school, kids growing thing.
Gifts - $256. Gave husband golf round for 2 at a NICE club. Also a baby shower gift and my neices bday.
School - $155. This includes back to school fees, books, and fundraisers.
Lessons - $131 for all three girls.
Soccer - some fees $52.00.
Medical - $40.
Stores - $385. T.P., cleaning stuff, dog food, general Target, Walmart Crap.
Entertainment - $33 - woo woo wild crowd here!
And the old MISC. - $631 (don't ask)(did include the $262 refridge fix)

At this point, my head is spinning and I don't even know what to think about September. I have paid all the bills and we are clear for the month.

    Hi Kathy Thanks for message re DD - it was also a first for me. I didn't know we were on the website. I can't believe the time has gone so fast - ooooo she was so cute.
    Well done - everything is paid this month - now anything you get can go to EMF or debt.

    I am glad to here that you have paid off a CC Smile that is awesome. I think you did a great job at keeping track of your expenses that way you can cut come corners on things. I agree with Freeme since everything is paid now you either save or pay towards debt
