Hello all. I just wanted to stop in and give all of you an update.
As you all know I really can't start the new program until I am current with my bills which is what I am working on.
This upcoming Thursday is going to be my biggest challenge in doing the right thing with my money.
I will have
Paycheck 898.25
Stipend 559.63
Surveys 12.96
Flex Spending Acct 658.65
total 2,129.49
I will pay out
Braces 1,000.00
Car Payment 489.91 This will pay August car payment (1 to go)
cc payment(s) 281.98 This will bring all cc's up to date
which will leave 357.60 out of which is gas, school shopping for ds, food for the next two weeks. GONE.
But at least I am one payment closer to bringing my car current (I will pay that on the 21st) and I am caught up on ALL my cc's. So by the 1st of October I will be current on my bills. My bday is the 2nd so this is a great gift to me
At that point I will do a budget and hopefully get more guidance from all of you.
Thank you all so much...this is consuming my thoughts! Seriously I spend NOTHING anymore...I find this really fun, I read everything I can get my hands on. My dream...to be able to afford to flip a house some day...I think I can...I think I can.
