June Update

It's been awhile and I am so sorry! I have to admit the last two weeks I was not much focused on personal finance. I didn't do anything super crazy but I did go over my personal spending budget by an additional $120 when I bought a wet suit on Thursday. I went surfing both Saturday (with SB) and Sunday (with SB, Ed & Christa), and it was SO worth it. I plan on making up for it by not purchasing anything personal this month (or next).

One of my big accomplishments for the month, however, was that I paid off store credit card #1 in full. I went into the department store on Saturday and paid off the remaining $34 and change balance. I walked out without even a hesitation - ZERO desire - to buy anything. It was SUCH a great feeling and I'm on a small PF high. Today I checked my balance on the card and noticed that it STILL had a balance of $1.14 (must have been rollover interest) so I went ahead and paid that online. So I'm officially out of debt with one out of four of my credit cards!! Next I'm tackling the next small one, store credit card #2 which has about $265 on it.

I'm working on revising my budget for June and I am looking forward to seeing how the adjustments play out.

I started the summer 9/80 schedule at work which means that I work 9 hours a day and get every other Friday off. This will mean fuel savings of about $100 over the course of the summer in my estimation. Very cool! Plus, I get an extra day to just laze around, read, go to the beach, and be happy to not be at work!

I signed up for a Yoga class for the summer $50 for 3 months of classes -twice a week (pretty good deal!)- so I'm going to put my LA Fitness membership on hold so that will be a small savings. I may end up canceling the membership altogether. I still haven't looked into how much the gym at work costs. I'll do that this week.

That's it for now - I'll be back to update info on my budget and the side bars with my debt accomplishments for this month!!!
