April Challenge Final Update
APRIL SAVINGS CHALLENGE -
My husband had a meeting today so he got his paycheck early. It won't hit our account until tomorrow but at least I know how much it will be. Mr. Ripples ended up with a good chunk of overtime pay. My goals for this month were to be able to add $150 to our emergency fund and save another $150 so I can add it to my student loans payment.
We made both of these goals! And I might be able to save even more money if I really watch the budget and don't overspend on grocery shopping or anything else that pops up.
Plus we had a couple extra expenses come up that we were able to find money to pay for:
Girl's school Photos - $78 - Paid for with extra money
Pool Membership for Little Ripples - $65 - Came out of Mr. Ripples overtime pay this month
Summer Gymnastics Lessons - $112 (The girls great grandpa gave them each some money, I let them each buy a toy and put the rest towards gymnastics lessons.)
