I think I may purchase the car I am currently leasing so I have a year left to save to do a hefty down-payment.
I have been plotting to save one of my checks each month but so far it hasn't gone well. The first month it went to a repair for a household item and credit card debt from house stuff purchases and a little eating out.
This month it's going to the credit card again for an forgotten annual expense, credit card purchases (for the house) and entertaining some visiting family.
I am hoping next month I really really am able to get it down to pay off my damn credit card balance and to put something toward the car. I think I may just bite the bullet and pull out $100 from these checks for house stuff (tools, repairs etc) and let then I'll put the rest to debt. That way I won't feel so pressured out kind of thing. I guess we'll see how it goes.
One check a month

Is there any way you can make up some of the money earned in earlier pay cycles? I'm thinking going through every room to identify items no longer used, needed or loved. I suggest taking a photo and offer items for sale on local Facebook sell system and any local, popular buy/sell electronic site. You will benefit by having a bit extra for planned auto purchase, de-clutter and divest your self of items that need to go. What do you think?
