Budget By Paycheck 2/17/23

February 19th, 2023 at 07:03 pm

begin - my beginning checking account balance.

pr - my net payroll check.

fed refund - my federal income tax refund.

Mom - reimbursement for Netflix.  It's been several years since she paid me anything for Netflix, and I really don't mind if she never pays a cent.  She mailed me this check, so I deposited it.

SB - we agreed to increase the amount from $250 to $300.  SB buys our groceries, buys our propane, pays the electric bill, pays the garbage bill, and pays for Starlink internet.  This $300 is my contribution towards those costs.

cash - this is my cash allowance for gas, misc, and spending money.  My budget for this is $260, but I had cash left from last time so reduced my withdrawal to $180.

SF - the automatic transfer to my sinking funds.

Gilligan SF - an initial deposit to save ahead for Gilligan's expenses.

house DP - a tiny deposit to my house down payment fund. 

Roth - a contribution to my Roth IRA.

Citi MC - the balance on my Citi MC.  It included Gilligan's adoption fee ($120), a visit to PetCo ($175.29), a bath for him in one of those dog wash vending machines ($10.00), dinner for two at The Olive Garden ($59.70), and then my Verizon and Netflix bills.

HBO Max - this is a new subscription so I can watch "The Last of Us".  We have Amazon Prime which SB pays for, and this add-on automatically bills his card.  I will reimburse him for this monthly.

life ins - my life insurance premium.

CarMax - the amount of money I had left to throw at my car loan.  This payment brought the balance down to $24,107.86.

ending balance - I am holding on to an additional $500 as I am still shopping for a dog pen and obedience classes.

    I notice that some gas stations have a lower price when you pay cash, but it’s so convenient to pay at the pump that I haven’t taken advantage of the discount.

    it always is cheaper to use cash but the pay at pump is so nice. I'm not even sure how to pay cash to fill up and I dislike the idea of filling $40 instead of all the way or something.
