About Me

Amy

I am a single mom of 2 kids(16 and 12). My credit cards are no longer over the limit and overdue. When I first started this blog, I managed to keep my power on by the skin of my teeth but now I pay the bill by the due date each month!

Another One Gone!

I paid off another medical bill on Friday. It feels good to see that zero. I already have that money spent for next month though...isn't if funny how that happens?

I spent $200 at the grocery store. It was $50 more than I had planned, but I didn't get junk so I felt good about it.

My daughters birthday is Tuesday. I have to go get her present tomorrow.

Not much else to report financially or otherwise. Just being very lazy today!

Great job. Think of where you were last year and where you are today. No "Power Interruption" Notes and made payments on all cards. That's really a great job. Keep the focus.
