Off Budget

Well, I can't say that my cash envelopes for August have lasted. As of today I am officially out of cash and there is almost a week left in the month - and I need to buy stuff for the kids for back to school.

Let's just say that we have been less than gazelle intense lately.

I understand losing a little steam over time, but I wish we could get the Emergency Fund fully funded up to $30,000. Only around $22,000 right now.

I do have a ton of craft shows coming up, so hopefully I'll be able to use some of that cash to beef up the FFEF.

Just wanted to check in and let everyone know we're still here.

I can definitely relate. I still have some money in a couple of envelopes, but I did have to do some creative shifting from envelope to envelope.

I did much better in July. Here's to the gazelle in both of us!

keep on plugging away - summer is almost over & it is so much easier to spend less when the kids are back to school!

Hi, I came across your site and am going to follow you....We are in baby step #1 .. will be completed this week. And then onto attacking our debts! $22,000 to me sounds amazing to have saved! But, I know how it feels to want to have it all in there! Hang in there...you'll get it accomplished! Great Job!
