Financial- We are doing ok. Matt has accepted a new position which should come with an significant increase in income! We have spent several hours talking about priorities and goals. I will hope to have a finalized new budget by the end of October. I do think that this may be a temporary budget for November and December with a more established budget starting in January. We did manage to have to have 7 no spend day in September which is the same as July. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grocery Spending-$550.31 This does include our $120 Costco membership. We needed things like toilet paper, laundry detergent, fabric softener and dishwasher tabs along with food for lunches! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earned $155- We continue to use Swagbucks on a regular basis but this amount continues to decrease and becomes increasingly hard to reach even $1 a day. I did receive a $100 gift card for applying for a personal loan. All the money this money has been used to work on our bathroom floor. I will have details and pictures once it is fixed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Personal-
Blogging- post number 8 for the month. Returning to work full-time has been rough along with all the kids activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Exercise- 0. After my knee injury, I am finally walking without pain and will try to start adding in some steady exercise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking ahead to October- Maintain spending and adjust the budget according to the income level we are at. Continue to control spending and debit. I know that this month will truly be a month of adjustments so I just want to maintain even ground and make a plan that works for our family. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
