End of 2-Week:
- The first thing I decided to do is to redirect my extra 1/2 mortgage payment transfer amount of $442.60 to my new extra loan payoff savings. I just don't really need it for the mortgage so I figure it'll do me more good paying off some debt. So along with some additional funds I managed to move over there, I was able to make two additional payments on the truck loan. So this month I've made payments for August, September, and October. And I still have $90.03 left in the extra loan payoff savings. When it reaches another payment, then I'll send it in as an additional payment.
- I paid $100 for my August credit card payment. I only owed $19.00, but I'm used to paying extra. Besides I've had to use it more often lately because of the boys' dentist appointments.
- I scheduled our cell phone bill for August in the amount of $63.75 (that's for two phones).
- I paid $99.91 on a doctor's bill for what was left after copay and insurance.
- I transferred the blow money for my husband and me; and the allowance for the boys.
End of Month:
- Groceries: $213.59
- Dining out: $184.31
- Husband's Work Lunches: $138.10 (can you tell bringing his lunch to work isn't working?)
- Gas: $570.21 (it's going down!)
- Prescriptions: $8.20
- Dental: $313.70
All our bills are now paid through the next pay period due on August 14th. I may still need to update some of the numbers in the sidebar later because:
- the mortgage payment hasn't gone through yet and I like to see the exact loan amount remaining after the payment.
- interest in the savings accounts are not showing yet.
- I always check the truck loan after the checks have cleared as the total amount due is usually lower (I tend to overestimate the interest and underestimate the principal).
I believe that about covers this last 2-weeks and last month. Let's hope August is a good one!
