Junes Budget

June is going to be a very tight month. My cousin is getting married in 2 weeks so I have a road-trip to Ohio planned. I have the most amazing planner for the trip too! I made it myself but that’s not unusual. Miss-List-Maker has it going on baby! I made all kinds of games for DS as well. You would all laugh at me I’m sure but I have all my lists broken down, the directions, phone numbers, itemized list of “first aid” items, etc. The only thing I have left to buy is a small cooler so we don’t have to stop for meals. Anyway, as it’s a 16 hour drive round trip, it’s going to be a lot of gas money! I will be losing one day of work as well, so it’s going to be a really expensive wedding. At least the courtesy check at Midas is free!

The super-expensive, ridiculously unfair $500 Sprint bill is due by the 10th as well. Ouch!

When I first did June’s budget I was left with a negative $902. So far I’ve managed to bring that up to -472. The budget really doesn’t have anymore “shaving” room but it does feel more manageable.
The budget is really strict but I have started working from home so my expenses has downsized. I’m hopeful I can make this work. Of course it’s going to be like this more and more until the end of the year since I have 4 weddings, 3 of which are out of the state! Then I have my annual CA trip for Thanksgiving and then Xmas. Grr..

Ok so the numbers are:

Tolls = $2.60 / 28.00
Cash = $18.18 / 50.00
Gas = $20 / 140.00
Groceries = $11.26 / 140.00
Meds = $9.60 / 25.00
“drs” = $0 / 14.00

I have my physical this month ($10 co-pay) and DS has his 8 year well check and I have forms that she has to fill out ($4.00) so both will end up costing me.
Well, there it is. Another month of lack-luster finances.. blah!
