Spending Report
Friday - $22- Movie Tickets , $ 55 New Shoes Total = $77
Saturday -$4 Coffee, $25 Pedicure and eyebrow wax, $4 tacos Total = $33
Sunday -$22 Groceries
Total for the weekend = $132
Gosh it really adds up! I didn't think I really spend that much. In the past (back when I didn't pay any attention!) It would have been much more!
Explanation of purchases. The movie tickets were for a friend and I but she picked up dinner, which was much more money, so I actually saved. The shoes were something I really needed. I had worn out my previous sandals to such a degree that I had to toss them. I am allowing myself a pedicure about every 6 weeks, I have a tendency to get ingrown toe nails so this is kind of a necessity.
I think I did pretty well. I am on track to pay all my bills according to my spreadsheet of paying things off.
I am trying to decide what to do regarding my emergency fund. Right now I have around $1700. I think it will be a good idea to have $2000 then start using what I would be saving to make double payments on certain cards or maybe my car payment. OR I could just wait until I have $2000 and then make a $1000 payment on something and really knock a chunk off my car payment or my smaller credit card. I like the idea of making a really large payment because I think it will keep me motivated, however, I also like that I am saving. I am embarrassed to admit this but this is the most I have ever had in my savings account that didn't result from a large bonus check.
