    Default September Budget Report

    Just crunched the numbers and we did even better in Sept than in August. We have been working hard and I'm just want to say to others that IT CAN BE DONE!!!

    September Budget Report:


    Income:

    Budgeted: 3100
    Actual: 8948.71
    Difference: + 5848..71
    ( !!!! )

    Auto:
    Fuel: $350.36/$350
    Service: 189.88/$50 (-138)

    Cell Phone: $81.39/$82
    Medical: $61.09/65
    Housing Costs: $800

    Utilities: $80.94/$80
    Dining: $68.72/75

    Groceries: $213.97/225

    That’s all the major categories.

    Including all other miscellaneous expenses our profit for the month of September was $6788.95

    Amount applied toward debt: $6500. $100 toward EF.

    Two months in a row we have managed to keep our budget pretty close. We are a full TWO MONTHS ahead of schedule on our debt. We managed to pay off an entire CC this month!!! (WAS $5500 at this time last month!!!)

    It feels pretty good.



    June 1st we were about $50000 in CC debt. We are now down to $33000.

    long way to go, but we have knocked out almost 40% of our debt in four months. And it has a snowball effect :-)
