Running Errands = Big Expenses

August 19th, 2010 at 08:38 pm

Yesterday we had a couple of nice big expenses, and there are just more to come. I took my car in for maintenance yesterday. I have a dentist appointment next week. We also will be making reservations to attend a film festival that my brother-in-law is in. This is his first one, and we are the stars of the movie so really we should be there. Thankfully I have enough in our Frivolous account to take care of this.

I hate that we aren't saving anything right now. I don't really count the student loans as that just represents more debt. We won't put anything away next month either. Our dreams just get pushed back every month we have to delay. Hopefully in October we will have a big enough paycheck to actually save.

Reminder: Get DH to change allowances at work.

    Pay yourself first. I never did this and look where I am now (not where I would like to be).

    I am always afraid of the dentist. Less for the pain but more because of the high costs, even with insurance! Good luck, and I hope it all leads to a manageable outcome...

    Homebody, I usually pay myself both first and last, but with my husband still underemployed, the savings is on hold. Don't worry, we will start up again in October.
