Spending

So far all we have spent money on is necessities for school, home and vacation that starts on Friday, Yes we can't wait what can I say camping here we come! We had to buy new sheets for our beds the old ones had huge holes in them, not sure how they got there but hopefully it doesn't happen again. We are completely finished with school stuff goodbye $150 for that! And vacation starts soon and we need food for camping but we have everything else, so as you can see we'll be AWOL for awhile while we do our last camping trip of the year before school starts again and we are all busy little bees around here. Have a great end of summer everyone J

Spending

Today we spent $53.94 on home maintenance stuff and $83.04 on DH Hobby stuff, this should be the last of the hobby spending for awhile except for the usual monthly food bills for all our animals.

Well today we rejoined the Dave Ramsey site, www.mytotalmoneymakeover.com because we loved being on it before so hopefully this will keep us up with bill paying.

I did make an extra $100 payment to CC #2 today bringing the total owed to $265 before this month's payment is due, I'll be paying that towards the end of the month and since next month is a 3 paycheck month I'm paying it off completely next month no matter what.

We have some school supplies left over from last year so I won't have to buy some things, and we plan on reusing the pencil box and backpacks from last year.

I'll need to update my side bars as I've paid down the debt since last time, maybe it will make me happy to see them going down faster rather than slower.

We have been very good about not spending money this weekend. We spent $9 at the hardware store and $14 on food, I was at work and DH got pizza for him and kids. I still have not taken any money out for jars although I do need to go to the grocery store for milk & bread; I'm going to try to keep it slim.

We still haven't heard anything about the layoffs other then they are coming soon.

We'll be sitting down and making a very strict budget due to this and it will hurt everyone in the family but it needs to be done, just in case.

Spending

Well so far we have spent a ton on our mini vacation last week, about $1,000 it was money we had saved but wow I could have used alot of that for major debt pay downs. Now that we know involuntary layoffs are occurring we have chose to be careful about where our money goes. So spending has been way down this past few days and we hope to keep it that way, my entire family knows that involuntary layoffs are occurring and so far there have been no over the top requests for extra money. We still have school shopping to do and tuition to pay for so I'm hoping that work is busy busy. I'll be trying to get overtime in this next month so wish me luck.

I've been saving my money from my side job for extra stuff we have been doing but now with the layoffs coming I'm going to save it for school supplies and tuition. I have about $100+ saved right now and hopefully I'll have enough to at least buy school clothing for my kids by next month.

This week I spent very little except for bills. Today I paid the Mortgage, Gas bill, Car Payment ½ I usually pay ½ each pp, got cash out for jars. I did spent about $60 extra dollars paid my son to mow the grass and bought a book. We also got a call about involuntary layoffs at work so I'm hoping neither myself or anyone else will be out of jobs. I have been there about 25 years so hopefully it won't be me..

Spending

Today I spent $54.17 at the grocery store I used Cash as we have a jar we put $100 into each week for groceries. I got boneless porkchops on clearance for about $2.50 a package with 4-5 chops in each package, killer deal in my book. I don't think we'll need to spend anymore on groceries for the week except maybe milk but we'll see..
