It's Friday! I'm soo happy it's Friday. I love my job, but it's so stressful.(not to mention I'm not making much of a salary). I make almost half of what DH makes and my bills certainly outweigh his before the marriage. I hate the fact I brought so much debt into this relationship. I just looked today to see where I am in terms of my debt:
CC1- $12,403.83
CC2- $5,432.90
Student Loan 1- $39,000
Student Loan 2- $14,000
He owes:
CC1- $3,000
Car Loan- $10,000
If I could use my whole salary without tax deductions it would still take me almost 4 years to pay my debt off before the marriage.
I am very unhappy about that, but on a brighter note we budgeted $450 for food & entertainment and only spent about $225-250 for the month. I hope we only spend no more than $100.00 to go clubbing with my friends for Halloween. We also budgeting $125 for electricity and spent only $43 thanks to no air conditioning.
We decided whatever we don't spend that's budgeted we are putting in a fund for vacation to treat ourselves. It's more of an incentive to save for us.
Still Under Budget with 3 Days to Go!
