This has been a long EXPENSIVE month. I am so excited to say goodbye to May and hello to June. Matt and I both are still working on increasing our income and hopefully we can start to see increases in the month of June.<\/p>\n
Financial- This is the worst month this year in regards to finances. The good news is that I receive an “extra” paycheck in June. My goal is to reset and hopefully get our feet back on steady ground. I blogged here\u00a0<\/a> about most of the expenses. I was not able to cover them all but we are still eating and floating so I am so thankful to head to another month. This is real life and just because we have a bad month does not mean we stop working. I am super disappointed but I lived the real struggle this month.\u00a0 I am praying and holding steady for better times ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This has been a long EXPENSIVE month.

\nTotal paid to credit card debit $1173 total, however this did not produce an reduction Instead we increased our overall debit by almost $600.
\nGrocery budget $475- Total spent $608.08. Yikes, It happened again and this does not include our cow purchase. I checked and we have been over budget in this year for 5 out of 6 months. I need to take a good look at this for the next 2 months and may in reality need to increase this to a larger more realistic number. We are well stocked and I would love to say we are planning to spend much less this month but I honestly think the kids are growing and we are eating more.
\nGas budget- $280- Spent $285. This does not include the inspection, or tags on Matt’s van.\u00a0 I also plan to re-evaluate this during the next two months and may increase if needed.
\nKid\/Summer expenses : Camp deposit, swim team, baseball games and we are not even going to talk about the medical expenses.
\nEarned $75-this is the lowest month to date. I am somewhat frustrated but extra is extra so we will continue to attempt to use whatever we can get.
\nPersonal-
\nBlogging- 9 for the month. No goal met here either
\nExercise- 0 total days for the month.<\/p>\n
