Payday Friday and already broke!

June 22nd, 2009 at 08:03 pm

Yup...its true. I brought home over $1100 on Friday. And it is gone. I have $12 in the bank. The only consilation is that things are getting paid. Only $21 of that was spent frivolously. I got groceries, paid the power bill, the satelitte bill, the mortgage, $100 toward a credit card,, which was $40 more than the minimum, got gas and monthly prescriptions and paid toward two medical bills. So although I look bad on paper, I am making progess. One of my medical bills will be paid off next Friday. Can't wait to actually see the 0's there.

My prescriptions came in $30 less than I Had budgeted. That would be great if I could actually take that $30 and put it in savings, but I need it for gas.

Once again, I don't know how I am going to make it through the month of July...but somehow it will all work out. I have said that probably each month since I have been blogging and each month, it manages to work out.

I am very excited and proud of myself for making dinner at home all last week, except for Friday. I even whipped something up last night with little preparation or planning. Since I went to the grocery store and bought wisely, I have things to make without having to spend too much time figuring out what I am going to make! I left this morning with a roast in the crock pot since we won't get home early tonight. You guys just don't know how much of an accomplishment that is for me. I haven't cooked regularly in years! I should have had my medicine changed around a long time ago! I am staying up later, getting up better, and actually doing stuff around the house! WOW what a difference!

    Good for you with the cooking at home! The cost savings of doing that adds up quickly. Smile

    I have been reading your blogs and I think you are making progress. It's a rocky road for all of us but you are hanging in there. You WILL make it through July. Just one day at a time right?

    Perhaps you can look into cutting back on a few unnecessary items so that you can reach your goal quicker? Since you are still paying off your credit cards, perhaps you can get rid of that satellite for now?
