Pleased as Punch

DH got paid a day early due to the holiday (I got my normal end of the month paycheck on Wednesday). This means we will not get paid again until the 15th and the 16th. I am used to a paycheck every week-ish, but sometimes this happens - what can I say? We are aligned!

DH brought home $1470 ($70 = a small bonus, nice!).

We stuck to our Wk1 budget mostly... just had to make a tweak here and there.


January Wk 1
Verizon - $187 - Paid
Water - $30 - Paid
Truck - $300 - Added to Savings (Keep the Change)
Clothes - $20 - Added to envelope
Gas - $65 (Changed to $50) - Added to envelope
Renters - $33 - Paid
Daycare - $160 - Paid
Dish - $92 (Changed to $80) - Paid ($24.00 credit on bill)
Qwest - $100 - Paid
SRP - $100 - Paid
Food - $110 - Added to envelope
Costco - $200 - Added to envelope
*Disney DVD Club (Stupid Tax) $32.00 - Paid
*Double Day Bookclub (Stupid Tax) $48.00 - Paid
* BofA Interest - $10 - Paid (Card is paid off, just paid leftover)
Total - $1460


That leaves a $10 buffer in our Red account! Shssh! Don't tell Leigh! She'll spend it!
No, I won't!!


Goals to Date:
Q1 = AmGen [$3988.00] - was $4013.00
Q2 = Crdt Crds [$4205.75] - was $4215.75
Q3 = Kay & Dell [$4141.00] - was $4141.00
Q4 = Med/Collctns [$7920] - was $8000.00Debt

Paid So Far = $615


I'd say we are off to a great start!! :) Since Wk1 is officially over for us, I will be adding our W2 and 3 budgets to our right-hand column (-->).

Make it a great day!
