Well considering I did not start until the last part of the month I think I did okay.
During the month I paid off $2200 in debt, started an e-fund, read a book, tried out 3 new recipes and lost 2 lbs.
I'm feeling much better about myself. Everything is connected. Not eating out not only saves money, but I'm eating healthier, which in turn is making me lose weight. Which is helping me keep motivated.
We did go out to the bar 2 nights. One night was free because it was at a friend's place and they comped the check for us. The other I only spent $20 not the normal $40+ and I did not order late night fried food. I'm still under budget for food/going out for the month, so it's all good.
I just received a $327 check from my escrow account. Some will go into the e-fund and the rest towards debt.
April goals - It's the first month with a lower mortgage payment. I'm going to put a little towards the e-fund and the rest towards debt.
It's a 3 month check for me, so I hope to be able to pay off $3000 in debt and get my efund up to $1250. I also want to read at least 2 books, try 3 recipes, walk 3 mornings a week and lose 4 lbs.
