Sabrina’s Money Madness

During the month of January I added $100 for a total of $1,735. My goal is $2,300 by May which means that I still have $565 to save. I didn’t add any money to my 10% fund this month so my housing total is $1,400 with $600 to […]

During the month of December I added $275 for a total of $1,635. My goal is $2,300 by May which means that I still have $665 to save. I didn’t add any money to my 10% fund this month so my housing total is $1,400 with $600 to go. I do […]

And they are severely cutting into my savings. Well, not cutting into my savings but instead of being able to use my raise for savings and a rainy day cushion, I have to use it to pay rent.
Last year my rent went up $10 more than my raise. This year, it’s scheduled to go up […]

During the month of November I added $205 for a total of $1360. My goal is $2,300 by May which means that I still have $940 to save. I didn’t add any money to my 10% fund this month so my housing total is $1,125 with $875 to go.
I should easily make my goal […]

 During the month of October I added $265 for a total of $1155. My goal is $2,300 by May which means that I still have $1,145 to save. There will be $95 more dollars added to my 10% fund which will keep the account open once I reach my goal so it’s only $1,050 for […]

I updated my monthly numbers to say that I have $890 in my house savings account. What I didn’t include was that $205 of that is my new 10% savings number which means that I only actually have $685 of my $2000 goal. My new goal for the account is $2,300 because the minimum of […]

I’m a little over a quarter of a way to my goal. At the end of August my balance was $515. During the month of September I added $375 for a total of $890. My goal is $2,000 by the end of May of next year so I have $1,110 to go.
Those totals are decent […]

I was on vacation so I haven’t walked to the bank to make my deposit into my house savings account. I usually go on Monday or when my coworker is not here since she’s my lunch partner. She had a flat tire this morning which was late for work. To make up her time, she’s […]

It should have been a goal a long time ago but I never really thought about it. I have small random amounts of money that goes through my fingers that I never really keep track of. Some of it is from surveys or small cash prizes that I win, most of the time it’s under […]

It’s only about 94 degrees outside today and it’s time for another trip to the bank. I have to make a deposit into my house savings account and I’ve designated the Monday after payday as the day to make the deposit.
I would create a new direct deposit but my company has a freeze on creating […]
