I have not been blogging as much as usual and when that happens, I seem to get behind on money matters. It does not help that I have taken my car to the car dealership in another state 4 times this month.
I got caught up on my $30 a day savings goal and added $46 to week 8 of my 52 week challenge. I am up to $281 on that project!

I took my car into get the seat fixed on Friday. The driver's seat has never gone up and down. The seat works fine now, but somehow, I have lost the mirror on the passenger side. I am assuming that it just fell out some how! I am having it replaced next Tuesday, but I will have to pay for it. On a corvette, the price will be about $150 for the mirror.

I found my first money of 2013. I f ound a dime in the parking lot yesterday. Last year i found a grand total of $1.31, so I am on my way for this year with 10 cents! lucky March 13th!

This week I sent in $6000 to each of our IRA's. I figure it will help out with our taxes! I had to take money out of a mutual fund in December to help finish up the spec house. It is the first time I have ever taken money out, so I know I will have to pay capital gain tax on the money.

On Jan 28th, I started putting away $30 every day. (Into a tin with Elvis' picture on it) I have not yet missed a day. I have saved and deposited over $1000 into savings this week!

I am on week 6 of my 52 week challenge. This week I saved $28 for a grand total of $209 so far.

I did my grocery shopping today. I saved $4 using my Ingles advantage card, so I am adding that to my $20 challenge.

DH got a new house to build. It won't be a real big house. Actually, we built another house for this couple about 11 years ago and they still live in it. They want a vacation cabin now!
I guess they don't like driving too much cause the cabin will be in the same town as their main house.
Dh is getting ready to start another spec house and this cabin will be right next door. That's handy!

I got $130 in interest in my ING account today to add to the $20 challenge.
