Update: Payday woes not so woeful
| I just finished doing my bills and my budget for this half of the month. Last month, I asked for and received a year-long forbearance on my student loans (don't worry, I still plan to make payments to cover the interest), so that we could focus some extra money on building savings and reducing consumer debt. Of course, this time didn't leave us with any extra to do any such thing, but thankfully that was one less bill to worry about. Between that and cutting back (way back, albeit still more than the minimums, so go team me!) on what I normally pay to the credit cards, we still had plenty left over to live on for the next two weeks, without needing to touch our savings. I'm going to take that as a victory, and decide to be happy with it. I'm just immensely grateful that all of our needs continue to be met. Labels: money management, personal |
