Happy August - new outlook on spending

New month. Time to start fresh on the whole debt countdown. Well, not completely fresh, but I need to hunker down and really start working hard. Which means, I need to do a no spend August. No spending outside the budget. No spending on frivolous things. 

So, here are the rules:
- Spend only what is budgeted. I have a spreadsheet I use for my accounting. 
- I have budgeted for my nail appointments, so I will keep those. But that is only for manicures. Not pedicures.
- Reduce spending on groceries. I have plenty of food in my house, so I need to eat that and go through my pantry and freezers. No eating out. Like I said, I have plenty of food.
- No spending on the business unless I run out of something. I just bought a bunch of bubble wrap and mailers, so until I am down to 1, no spending. Until I fill up the shelves in my spare room, no buying shelves. No yarn, no spending at thrift stores or garage sales. I have plenty of things to list and sell. Not going to run out any time soon. Shipping costs are a given - have to ship items out. 

If I spend outside of these rules, I have to post it here. 

I have to save money. I have to eliminate my debt. I have to get rid of the clutter. I am done spending money to make myself happy.

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 ...
