So, this summer has been busy and there really has been no real budget...we have gone out of town, we have had family in town, took a mini vacation up to Chicago while they were in town, birthday presents/dinners, hotel costs...basically just spending a lot of money!
I decided since all of that is over, today I will start fresh and get back on a budget.
In order to do that I will:
1. Keep track of our spending
2. Figure out how to cut down on as many bills as possible
1. So, here's what I spent today:
$2.50 at CVS (but I got back $4ECB's--not sure how to calculate this?)
$25.37 + $2.00 tip for bagger at the commissary
Although, today Larry was skimming through the best buy ad and he noticed that the b-day gift I bought him is now on sale, so we got a price adjustment--$30 got put back on our card! YAY!)
So...
-$4.13 MADE today after price adjustment and ECB's
We'll see how the rest of the week goes...
2. Figuring out how to cut down on bills:
-We already refinanced the cars saving us about $80/month
-We cut our cable bill down $15/month
-Next...I'll let you know once I figure it out!
My goal is:
1. Pay off any CC debt
2. Have more money in savings
