May Re-Cap

Financially speaking, this month was all over the place.  While I brought in a significant amount of side income thanks to my new part-time job (double thanks, Craigslist!), I also spent a great deal with the adoption of two kittens.  All in all, not too shabby:

  3. $250 extra to mortgage  CHECK!
  4. Limit variable spending to $450  Fail–went over by $155
  5. Find a way to bring in an extra $100+  CHECK!  Brought in $1,597!
  6. Use extra cash to pay for Memorial Day camping trip  Trip canceled; decided to work instead

Household Goals:

  1. Install storm doors  Fail–June?
  2. Host a Girls’ Night  Fail–Postponed until July
  3. Prep porches for re-finishing  In progress!

Personal Goals:
