Monthly update: April 2007
Okay folks here is my spending and saving update for the month of April. I will also be updating my net worth so you can look at the progress chart in the left side bar?..scroll down.
According to Net Worth IQ I now stand at ($9,937) for the month. This is a marginal improvement over last month but I am just thinking that slowly but surely I am whittling away at the debt. Now that I have a definite plan and I am putting my business all out there it has made me take this more seriously than I have since I started to accumulate the debt.
Tracking my finances: March update
Okay folks here is my spending and saving update for the month of March. I will also be updating my net worth so you can look at the progress chart in the left side bar…..scroll down.
I am still training Money to recognize and classify some transactions but the figures for this month are more accurate than the ones for February were….so just bear with me for a little while longer while I get this all straightened out. I am finding out new things constantly that I need to work on.
Monthly update February 2007
Today is the last day of the month and I need to take a quick look at just where all those dollars went to.
Yesterday I spent 75 cents on a pack of peanuts since I did not bring anything for lunch and I was STARVING in the office. I know that was bad because I could have gotten out of bed just 5 minutes earlier and made myself a sandwich.
I ended up spending just $36.39 on food this month which is really great. My spending on 
personal items and household items clocked in at $63.60 which was a little bit over what I had anticipated but it was still under the budget of $70.00.
Last day of the month
Well folks I am off to save the world one kid at a time. Today I will be in a content mastery class for children with special needs. I hope everything works out well today and I do not have any problems like LAST friday.
Nothing went seriously wrong….it was just something that happened that irked me. I don’t feel very good today so I am not sure how much I can handle. Let’s just pray.
Tracking my finances: day 8
I spent nothing today. I did not get any money on the floor today so that makes it an even day at zero for me. I am going to do my taxes tomorrow and file for free.
Spending report for January 2007
I just pulled up my reports from Money to see what I actually spent over the last month. Apart from paying all of the regular bills which I will talk about later, I did very well with cash. I actually only spent $10 for the month which was used to get quarters for laundry.
Update on the New Year’s resolutions
I have just decided on this last day of the month to take a look at my goals for the new year.
I have managed to stick to my budgets and not fudged my numbers so I feel much better about my finances.
I have not kept up my end of the bargain when it came to exercising. As usual I always start off well and then slack off at the end of the week. I also ended up eating too much cake so of course I put on some weight.
Update on resolutions
I exercised for one of the three days last week and then due to some technical difficulties I 
did nothing the rest of the week.
Last night I did get some ab work done on the ball while I was watching House. I was not going to do anything but honey suggested I should get on the ball so I did.
Then today I worked at the bookstore so I was able to count that as part of my exercise for the week because I was on my feet and constantly moving around and carrying boxes.
