I made an extra $75 payment to my credit card today. I know some of you will say that I should have used that toward the tires, but I have not been able to make extra payments on this card for months...and I had planned on the extra payment anyway. I am not doing something frivilous(like getting my nails done which I would love to do) so i feel like my parents wouldn't mind. That makes a total of $100 paid to that credit card this month. It has a credit limit of $500 and the balance after the $100 is $331. I haven't used this card in forever and just making the minimums is getting me nowhere!!! I didn't even activate the new card when it arrived.
I have $255 left of my paycheck for the next two weeks after I pay everything. I need to get some groceries, but given my new shopping habits, I won't spend much. I have already deducted for gas so I should be in good shape.

Well done! I have found that my prudent planning does reap the benefits of a surplus (albeit small). Even things like watching library DVD with homemade snacks can be fun (our scheduled plan vs dropping a boatload of money at the pumpkin patch).
