Okay, so yesterday was payday. We had agreed that on payday we were not going to spend any money using our bank card. Instead, we were going to take out all of our cash and use the "magic jars."
We paid:
- $76 to hyrdo
- $85 to cable
- $100 to home phone / cell phone
- $118 to Mom's Mastercard for our purchases
- $105 to payday loans (I thought it would only be $90, but I was wrong)
In the bank and ready to go we have:
- $26 for school pictures
- $70 for afterschool care
- $424.42 for our car payment
- $100 for insurance
- $415 for 1/2 of our rent for November 1st. This is new . . . part of the rent payment before it's due? Wow!!
We have our jars filled and ready to go. Groceries, Transportation, Clothing / Gifts, Entertainment, Everything Else.
I'm so excited. What a great feeling to have money for stuff not only for this week, but for next week, too.
We were even short money. I had 3 days off unpaid, and besides that there was an error on my cheque and I'm about $50 short. I'll get it added to the next pay, though.
Things are looking up!
