I'm caught up on record-keeping and bill-paying. And the only groceries I intend to get before Sunday will be covered by the Pathmark coupons I just got. So I'm ready to report 2 days early.
Credit card debt now $2972, down $565 from last month. (I can't remember when it's been below $3000!)
Emergency savings now $716, up $205 from last month.
Everyday Expenses, $586. Higher than I'd like it to be, but I just don't feel like I overspent. I bought extra of several things because it meant savings in the long run. Also, with trying to watch my weight, I bought some diet stuff that will last a long time. For example, bacon bits are considered "free" calories but not cheap money-wise. I also spent almost $4 for a big box of diet fudgsicles, but they will last me for weeks.
And obviously, if our cc debt is down and our savings is up, we could definitely afford the overage this month. So I'm not going to worry about it.
Four-week report, a bit early
