I've decided that I need to post a weekly recap of what went on financially for the week prior. This way I'll keep reminding myself how close we are to our budget, if we're over, etc. Anywho, on with the show!

I think overall, we are doing pretty good. Considering this is the second month I have ever actually "budgeted", we are not doing too bad sticking to it. We're a little over in a couple categories for the month:

Education / Other = <-$122.50>
Food / Restaurants = <-$13.52>
Medical / Doctor = <-$90.00>
Gifts <-$6.00>
Car Repairs =<-$488.70>
Phone / Internet = <$-2.68>


Not a whole lot I can do about any of these excess charges. I guess I should just be glad that we were able to pay for them in cash and not have to use credit for any of them. Unfortunately, I feel like we're never going to get our $1,000 emergency fund in place. I've only been able to send $79.00 this month towards it. I guess it is better than nothing, but not as much as I would have liked.
