Happy Halloween everyone! Enjoying a Sunday morning of coffee and watching the fun spooky shows they show on Halloween each year. It will (hopefully) be a low key day here..some baking, budgeting, housework and homework.
Had our first exam for Sociology..that was a pretty tough test. Got a B on the multi choice and an A+ on the essays. Overall score now is an A...so hopefully I can keep it up through the end of the class.
My new budget is working so well. I have an excel spreadsheet that I track all cash, bills and debit on. I went about $100 over budget this month...but I also stocked up on some things (even the turkey and a few other things for Thanksgiving dinner) and have a freezer full of food...so I will recap that $100 from the November food budget. I live on my own income and my housepayment is $1475 month...so budgeting is crucial. Having 4 kids, their significant others, Six grandkids and several dear friends I keep an 'escrow' account for Holiday gifts, birthdays...as well as vacation, emergencies, etc. I am also saving for my 50th birthday bash...which is next June. I am happy with the amounts I am allocating to each. I also am putting $ in my 401k and in savings...so all in all, I am very happy with the plan.
Im ready for my little ghouls to come visit tonight. Cant wait to see them all dressed up!!
Life is wonderful!
Happy Halloween...and I got an A!!!
