April Goals:
1. Incorporate two new green living 'activities' into our life. - PASS! I removed us from mailing list, and I added a plant to our place to help with cleaner air.
2. Earn enough money to cover our trip to Florida. ($500) - PASS! We actually were able to earn a little over $600!
3. Increase our car fund by at least $300. FAIL! Got too caught up in paying down debt...
4. Get together another bag to donate to Goodwill. PASS! I have a few tee's and 3/4 length shirts ready to go.
5. Create a new savings account and set up an automatic withdrawal each week to cover. PASS! I got a super sweet deal too!
6. Work out 3 days a week. PASS!
7. Read 2 books. PASS! Pass, Pass! I was able to finish 8 books thanks to work.
On to the budget...
We went over in:
- Supplies ($9, but we stocked up on about a years worth of tp)
- Clothes (almost $80 because of hiking boots and Easter outfits, I'm thinking about increasing this category because $20 for 2 people isn't much)
- Gifts (next month will be over also, thanks to weddings and babies) :-)
- PECO (Only by $9, thank goodness for warmer weather!)
- Groceries (Also only by $9)
- Cell phone ($20 thanks to hubby's adjustment in the plan)
- Gas ($45)
Debt is down to $10,750 from the $17,000 last month! Over $6k closer to being debt free!!! 8 months left to kick it all to the curb!

AWESOME JOB! :)
Good job! By the way, I love all your tickers.
that is awesome!! :) and i don't think you have to kick yourself too much for being so wrapped up in paying down debt that you didn't save as much.
Thank you all very much! :-) It's encouraging knowing that y'all are supporting me in this!
You guys paid over 6,000 grand in debt in two months???? YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!
