This month is going to be a plugging-along month. I paid $143 to the ol' credit card this morning. We had a good month last month and will have a decent month in August, but July? Well, we get two gold stars for sticking to the plan!
There's a number of reasons why this month's payments will be so small. First - we are saving some money to be able to pay our taxes next year. For whatever reason, the right amount isn't being taken out and after trying to have it fixed a number of times, we decided to just save the money. Second - it's a big birthday month - lots of nieces and nephews, my M-I-L, and mine (woo hoo! Another year older!!). But - my birthday present will be the clothes that I buy from babysitting and my diet software....more than I deserve, IMO. I'm grateful for an awesome hunny who doesn't have the freakish selfish nature when it comes to money. I'm trying really hard to not be such a freak about money and he's a great example to me.
If a person borrows $1.47 from my mom, you better pay her $1.47. She will also accept $1.50. Now - bless her heart, she is a kind and decent person who is a really nice grandma and she tries SO hard. She just has this weird relationship with money and, sadly, I find that if I don't control myself, I have some of those same tendencies. It's a real effort for me and I'm not usually successful. At least not the first reaction.
Anyway....RAMBLING!! It's a full day of cleaning, cooking, and errands. Better get to it!
