Happy Wednesday! One more day closer to the weekend. One more day closer to getting my company shares that I'm going to sell the minute I get. One day closer to a lot of things.

I added some money to the debt total. I got my bill from Capital One and saw the interest that they were charging me this month. Ouch! I also added some medical bills in the form of a therapy bill, but I also paid that off with money in my HSA.


So that Township game I had blogged about earlier? Discovered I wasn’t making any money playing it. It immediately got uninstalled from my phone. It was way too addicting to begin with, and like I said, I was wasting a lot of time with it.

I haven’t been completely idle the past couple days. Sure, I’ve been working at my day job, earning the paycheck, but I’ve also been creating a bill spreadsheet for a friend of mine. Okay – I was hired by a friend of mine to create her a spreadsheet to track spending. Not a problem – I use one every day. But I wanted this one to be accessible to both me and her, just in case she needed changes and so I can update it with the new formulas for next year (if she wants). So I got to play with Google Sheets and now I think I might put my bill spreadsheet there. After all, it has up-to-date numbers for all my accounts, so why not? I don’t know about putting all my other spreadsheets on Google sheets. I’d have to see how they translate and if any of the formulas get mixed up.

And with the bill spreadsheet template now available to share with others, I can now offer it for sale. One completely customizable spreadsheet to track all your expenses. Once I get it listed on Etsy, I'll post a link on the main page. 

That's all for today. Short post, not much going on. I'm off to the dance studio to watch my son practice, then early to bed.

What's in a name? This reminds me of Romeo and Juliet (I was an English major, after all). And I'm having a bit of a tough time with what to call my emergency fund. I need to call it something other than emergency fund, because that's not what it is. I haven't had anything remotely that I would call an emergency, but I keep spending out of it. I mean, after all, on Friday, I drained it to pay for the brakes on my car. So, I've said this before, I'm adopting the Dave Ramsey model of personal finance and his baby steps. Step 1: put $1000 in an emergency fund. Step 2: snowball your debt. Pay the minimum amount on each account, then anything extra, pay down your smallest debt. Once that is paid off, add the minimum payment for that debt into the minimum payment of the next smallest debt. And so on and so forth. I've already paid off one account. I'm on my way to paying off a 2nd account. I'm accounting for every dollar, not keeping anything in my...

Oh wow, it's been awhile. So, catch up. I am currently under $21k for debt (yay) and I have $652 in my savings account. I have been using my savings account not as it is meant to be used - Not using it as a savings account per se, but as a supplement to my current checking account. Every penny of my checking account is being used for debt. If I need extras, I'm using my savings account. For example. I got paid on March 20. Every penny of that paycheck was spent for bills or put back into savings. I received $1,132.73. I paid my gas bill ($78.97), Car insurance ($64.88), Internet ($79.95), Kirby ($58.32) and cat food ($29.00). I also deducted the payments for the mortgage ($202.53 - the rest comes from my VA benefit check) and Hulu ($12.87). I put $250 in my grocery account and $25 in my savings account. That total was $800.52. The rest went into savings, bringing that total to $790.82. Since the 20th, I've paid my Google Fi account for my cellphone ($77.68), purchas...

Good morning and Happy Saturday! These weekends are very important to me. I have learned that I will not be working from home at all. My boss's boss's boss has decided that since we execute and sign documents in front of notaries on our team, and those notaries have to enter activities into our database, we cannot work from home and sign in front of a notary at a bank. Not that we would be able to anyway, with most branches closing the lobbies in this coronavirus pandemic. And I have been very busy executing assignments, so I get to go into the office every day. Not the greatest for my anxiety, but what can I do? At least I have a job and I'm getting a paycheck. Which is more than I can say for a lot of people in this country and worldwide. Okay, so you may have noticed that I'm no longer under $21k for my debt countdown. Well, that's because when I was adding up totals, I discovered I didn't account for the interest I'm paying on my Kirby. Had to add ...
