When I checked my email this morning, I had an email from the child support office that there was a new payment on my account. When I looked it up, it was $4930!! I was so shocked! Apparently the ex did the first time homebuyers credit. I was so surprised!
It couldn't have come at a better time! I paid off my property taxes and one of my credit cards. I also paid off my garbage bill. I put $1500 into my savings account/emergency fund. I caught up my mortage(which was less than 30 days past due) and paid my cell phone bill. All in all, I think I did well with the money. I have my budget set through October. Of course there is always minor changes here and there, but it pretty much sticks to the main plan.

What a nice surprise! I was happy with an extra $375! Bet you are over the moon. I agree with all the above that you did a great job with allocating your funds.
