"June" ended on July 1 for me.
Everyday Expenses came to $591, even after I applied an upcoming rebate against last month's spending ($25 gc if you spend $300 at Pathmark by July 6), and recategorized some vacation food spending as recreation. My general target is less than $545.
I've been running over this way the past three months, and I've been kicking myself about not being a better shopper. But now that I look more closely, I can see it's partly because of gas.
January-March totalled $204 for gas. April-June totals $288. That's an average of $28 more per month.
I don't know if it's just gas prices or if I'm driving more. Time to start using the trip meter again, and try to stay under 150 miles a week.
Our liquid net worth went up to $2992, an increase of $983, largely because of a $600 wedding anniversary gift from my mother.
Emergency Fund decreased from $681 to $257 due to two car repairs during the month.
Credit Card Debt decreased from $2805 to $2249. The HSBC account IS down under $2000 now, but there are outstanding balances on other cards because of end-of-the month expenses that haven't yet shown up on a bill. (Car registration, yearly internet fee, etc.)
