The winds of April certainly brought about lots of change.\u00a0 Matt is now employed full time.\u00a0 We also enjoyed a 10 escape from reality to Disney.\u00a0 May is usually one of our busier months so I anticipate full steam ahead to summer and the school break.\u00a0 We were over budget in several different categories. My intention is to just work through the month of May as it comes budget wise. I will plan to spend some time after we figure out Matt’s pay and do a re-vamp of the budget beginning in June. This revamp will also take into consideration inflation and the price increases that we are seeing.<\/p>\n
Groceries<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0budget amount is $200 until June.\u00a0 Not Met! $658.81<\/strong>\u00a0<\/b>This does include our Amazon subscribe and save.\u00a0 I am a little shocked at this amount but I have started to readjust again and instead of buying one item we are out of, buying two instead. I will continue just to monitor this in May but have no clue where we will end up.<\/p>\n Auto\/ Gas<\/strong>.<\/b>\u00a0My goal is $400 a month.\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0NOT<\/strong>\u00a0met<\/strong>! $355 for regular gas and $430 for the trip to Disney.\u00a0 Matt’s job is a 35 to 40 minute drive so I am going to have to monitor and adjust this amount going forward.\u00a0 This also includes gas prices as high as I have ever paid so that could be an issue.<\/p>\n Cash Envelope system-\u00a0<\/strong>Did not work with out trip so it was out the window. Disney prefers cards so that is what we used for ease.<\/p>\n Blogging- 15 post per month<\/strong>. 8 post during April not bad considering we were gone for 10 days.\u00a0 Hopefully things return to normal and I can get back in a good routine soon!<\/p>\n Exercise days-\u00a0 We managed to work an average of 7 miles a day at Disney so I am going to count 8 days of exercise. I also have an appointment this week for another shot so that should help.\u00a0<\/em> April was a fun month but it was also a month of struggle and change. May should bring about a sense of normalcy and anticipation of the summer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The winds of April certainly brought about lots of change.\u00a0 Matt is now employed full time.\u00a0 We also enjoyed a 10 escape from reality to Disney.\u00a0 May is usually one of our busier months so I anticipate full steam ahead … Continue reading
