I have prided myself in having my savings account go up every month since we had our last closing a year ago last January.
This month it is different.
WE had to pull out $6500 from our savings to pay some customers bills, as I explained in my last post.
We had to spend $1000 to replace the refrigerator.
My dh decided to redo the old corvette and so far he has spent $1000 on parts for it.
Now I have an expensive hand painted pedestal sink and faucet coming in, to the tune of $1300. I have no use for the sink now, but it was ordered months ago, so we will have to pay for it.
All I can do, is just keep plugging away, saving money any other way I can.
Well, the stock market did go up yesterday and I won 2 games of mah jong, so that is $3 more to add to the challenge.
Prev. total $22,906.00
today 3.00
new total $22,909.00
A spendy month

Any chance you can sell the sink & faucet?

These past few monthes have been hard on us to. I had to take some money out of our savings also just to pay bills.
We also start paying for our own health insurance and that will cost us an extra $180.00 a month.
We have decided to get rid of our satillite and we have switched to cable $30.00 a month cheaper. We changed our car insurance $20.00 a month cheaper. We are getting rid of our long distance on our telephone.
I have been putting the heat way low. I only use the dishwasher once a day.
I just want to be able to just get by....on my husbands check.
I Love your blog and it makes me feel good knowing someone alse is trying to save some money!
