DivaJen: what we do when we travel is go to the local grocery to buy cereal, pb and jelly, bread, small qty milk, etc and eat in the hotel room. Will this help keep your travel budget in line.

Oh, I know. DH and I do that too whenever we can.

I should clarify - I'll be staying at my grandmother's house. I'll have to spend money at the actual reunion, as it's being held at a restuarant. But thanks for the ideas.

Re: August Goals

Hi! This is my first post here, so hello everyone...

My August goals:

1. Go see an accountant and figure out all my tax stuff. I'm supposed to pay quarterly. Paid April 15th, forgot June 15th, need to pay Sept. 15th. I think I'm WAY overpaying and this could save me a lot of money.

2. Don't spend more than $100 during my week off. (Other than essential appointments-- accountant, optometrist) I'm not bringing money in, I shouldn't be spending it.

3. Put $1000 in my ING account. Might be more depending on what taxes come out to be.

4. Take lunch to work every day.
