September 2011 Budget Report

September 30th, 2011 at 08:19 pm



I cut back as much as I could to accommodate my HUGE electric bill.

In savings, although I did contribute $125, I also pulled out $482.79. I hope October is better.

The extra Roth contribution was from the bonus I received for opening a checking account with Chase. You don't see that extra income in September, because I received it in August.

In October, I am not going to mortgage chip. I am not going to contribute to my Roth (gulp). Instead, I am going to save for my new fence. My goal is to contribute a minimum of 3k to my Roth each and every year. I am at $2,950 for the year, so only have $50 to go. I will manage that, but first, the fence.

I have gotten estimates from two companies now, and I asked them to quote me 6' and 7', cedar and redwood. The lowest thus far is $1301.30 (6' cedar), which is $650.65 each. I hope my neighbor does not balk at the price, but I suspect she will. I will get a new gate at the same time which will be an additional $302.80.

    I enjoy your simple, easy to follow budget. I need to do something like that.

    Thanks Bob, I find it easy to use. I have the exact same categories set up on Mint, so it is easy to plug in at the end of the month too.
