July had more expenses than we would have liked. We had a big family wedding and with that always comes a few incidentals. Most wedding expenses were planned ahead (gifts, primping, ect) And that was helpful.
We have another family wedding (on a much much smaller scale) in September, but we are not involved in that one.
We did rather well, all things considered. We were not able to put as much to debt as we had hoped, but we did manage to pay more than the minimum, and the balance is slowly dwindling. Robert's preschool tuition was paid in full by the end of the month which earned us a 5% discount and less worry throughout the school year, as well.
Unfortunately, I am at a stand still right now with the freelance work I have been doing. It is guaranteed to pick up again in the fall and through the holidays, but for now, I hate not having that extra income to put towards debt.
We'll continue to put as much as we can to our debt and NOT create more debt. Its still so helpful to know where our money is going.
On that note, a brand new Target just opened down the road... we might be in some trouble after all....
