Changes at work and Budget projections

October 18th, 2012 at 06:39 pm

I learned today that the changes at work are indeed happening. My department will be growing by at least 3-4 people and assume a few new areas of risk management. I have worked here for almost 20 years and have rolled with similar changes many times- To me, change is always exciting and an opportunity to learn. Big Grin (I think it means more $$ too...Big Grin)

The hubs paycheck is $100 more than budgeted this week. The extra money went straight to debt. $1800 went to various savings accounts (escrow type accounts- birthday, Christmas, vacation, insurance, taxes, big vacation, etc. No bills were due this week, so the remainder will roll to next week when both house payments are due and then roll to the weeks that the hub doesnt get a paycheck in November. This will be his last 3 week stint home until next spring. He will only be home 1-2 weeks every 4-5. He also said that DD3 should get her call today about working up there. She is pretty excited about it...I am nervous- it is so far from home and isolated up there...the hub will be in the area, but they wont really see much of each other.

Even though the hub is home Oct 25- Nov 14...there are 5 Fridays in Nov. With the anticipated OT and the way my paydays fall, I will be able to put $3500 towards debt! This is huge for us for one month! I love that we are chipping away at those bills.

    Wow! good on you! You are doing a phenomenal job on goals and sticking with your plan. I'm thrilled to hear your department will grow by 3-4. I think statements like that mean the economy if finally turning the corner for an upward trajectory. My portfolio has done so well this fall it's almost scary. Only one USA investment remains lagging from the 2008 disaster.

    Your pay-by-pay disbursement plan seems to be working very well. Smart. I know how worrisome it is to have DKs work far from home but I see how much DS1 has matured being away at university and working 35 hours each week. He works for a major bank and while others would find a split shift a horror, it's wonderful for students in finance.

    Hi Ray - I am all right, but I do have two very big life changes going on. I need to wait a couple of weeks before writing some blog entries. Thanks for putting a note on my last entry - it won't be a last entry for very long. Smile
