Well I can't seem to get the debt off the card any faster but oh well I suppose that's life and what not.
The cash system is going okay. I have to be creative about what to eat but so far so good. I've been able to put a sliver of money away to my emergency fund but it's better than nothing.
I have been paying for everything all ancillary-weekly expense things in cash since paying off that last item on the card (it was for a appraisal and I wanted to have a secured method of payment for that.)
I have two more seasonal bills I have to pay off and after that it will be the normal stuff again.
I'm pretty much halfway to having enough for my quarterly tax payment so I shouldn't be late there!!
I have been giving my self a little reward each week to wean myself off that bad spending. (Last two weeks it was one trip to Starbucks for a coffee.) This week I couldn't afford that but I found an old loyalty card for coffee at Whole Foods, that one combined with my the one I had already had in my wallet meant I had a free coffee so I went ahead and cashed that in.
I am going to see about resurrecting the envelope system I had going when I was making more money and putting way more money away.
Now that my ankle is healed pretty much I should be able to take advantage of my gym membership again ($27 a month) which will help me chill out and hopefully get back in shape again.
I have also been reading a lot. It's cheap so why not. Lol.
Hope all is well guys!
