I love weekend mornings because I make myself a tea, sit down
at the computer by myself and catch up our excel spreadsheet, balance our
chequing account and look a head at the coming week. The end of the month is
always my favorite, because I see how much we can throw at the LOC – this is
always the last bill we pay and definitely the best feeling!
We did an
awesome job budgeting this month, and although I know there’s still time for
things to happen, I’m pretty confident we will be able to throw another $2000
plus the interest at the LOC bringing the balance down to $12,000. We will also
be able to deposit $500 into our vacation savings account. This will still
leave us a buffer of about $1300 in our chequing account going into next month.
This puts
us in a very good position for June because G, after 8 months, is finally
getting his retropay from his raise back in October. Yayyyyyyyyy! The totals for
just the retro pay portion are $3853.01. Now we aren’t sure how much is
actually going to be deposited (lol taxes) but that’s okay. We are just going
to treat this as a ‘regular’ pay and anything up and above his salary we will
transfer to the LOC. I’m hoping they also pay out the current overtime he has
submitted – which is at around $3400. But I’m not holding my breath, I know
that money will come sometime but it would be awesome to do one big lump sum extra
payment.
June can’t get here fast enough!
