    Default I feel good!

    Today I sent out over $1,500 in bills and it feels good! Weird I know!

    I feel good because I followed my budget, followed my savings plan, did everything I was supposed to and had more than enough money to pay all of my bills on time AND I even had a few extra dollars to pay off my vacation planned for August early!

    Love it when a plan comes together!

    That's the way to feel good about sending money out the door! A little sigh of relief, enjoy the bit of peace, and then look forward to the next wave.
