I deposited a little over $2,000 than I spent in January. This was definately helped by the fact that there were 3 pay periods in January but I also paid the big X-Mas bill this month too. Next month should give me a truer picture of what I can really save following my "buy nothing new and only if you really need it year".
I still have a ways to go on emptying everything in my pantry and fridge but I can now see the back of the top shelf of my freezer. I vow to continue my quest to "eat from the pantry" one more month with the single addition of soy milk & vegetables.
I did not go to the Y at all in January so according to my rules I am supposed to drop it. I am going to give myself one more week on that one and if I don't go it's history. I am also going to drop Netflix. I keep the same 3 DVDs for over a month. That's another one where I really like the company so I want to support them but they will just have to do without my $26 bucks a month.

I need to do a "report" of my January spending. It's going to be hard because my computer died in the middle of the month, and I had to transfer files (including Quicken), and I always lose information during computer transitions.
ReplyDeleteAt least I didn't have to pay for the computer (my work "gives" it to me--though of course I have to eventually give it back!)
