Made $160 extra in overtime during the month of July.
Total household expenses paid from household account in July: $2,446
(Note 1: A week-long visit to my parents home out of state meant no gas or grocery expense for household--very little expense at my parents house, they live in a rural area. Tickets to fly were $400 for two. Will pay off credit card with savings next month.)
(Note 2: Cut the funding for the kid's gas tank in mid-July--until school begins--lowered gas budget by approx $80)
Extra bills paid from the freedom account and savings: $242 for car repairs, $264 for dental work for the kid.
SAVINGS:
Regular savings (automatic savings deposits from net pay): $100 to wealth account, $100 to IRA, $10 to the kid's savings account (the kid's move-out account)
Regular savings (automatic allotments from gross pay): $180 to freedom account, $226 to 401K, $24 to Christmas account, $50 to house repair account, $20 to creative ventures account and $280 to the kid's education fund.
Extra savings: $100 to car payment account, $65 to checkbook cushion, $80 to extra mortgage payment account, $100 from overtime to savings just because.
