I broke the dag-gone challenge again today. We spent $4.99 on toothpaste. That's kind of a necessity. I can't believe I didn't have it on the grocery list. But we were within the cash allotted for groceries. I started out with $107 remaining.
-3.99 keylime pie
-4.99 toothpaste
Remaining: 98.02
I replaced the $4 with change I had lieing around and I found .75 in the laundry. I love it when my family tips me. This brings the total back to 102.77.
I sent the $600 Toyota money to the CC today. Well, actually I deposited it in the bank and I will send it tomorrow. But I already counted it in the debt tracker in my Bio.
I just checked on my Excel sheet where I mapped out my plan for monthly contributions. This helps me sleep at night by getting the plan out of my head! Here's my plan:
August contribution: $630
Church pay: 500
Regular pay: 100
flute lessons: 30
September contribution: $2130 (Good month )
Church 500
flute lessons: 30 (maybe 60-depends on her schedule)
Extra pay day this month: 1400
regular pay: 200
October contribution: $760
church: 500
flute lessons: 60
regular pay: 200
So far for August, I am just $1.00 shy of my goal! I still have another payday coming and two church pays. August is looking pretty good!
If all goes according to plan or better, I will have CC#1 paid off by the end of October.
