Money spent today: $0.
Today I had another full day of conference classes. A friend bought me my morning hot chocolate on the way to class and again, there was plenty of food all day at the conference. A late evening meeting right after the conference left me with no time to go anywhere or do anything that would require money.
What I wanted to spend: actually nothing today because I didn't have time to do anything but work although my friends at the conference all went to the student store (the conference was at a university) and bought cute pens. I didn't because #1 I didn't bring any money with me which kept me from buying, #2 I seriously didn't need to buy a pen (they were giving them away--not as cute mind you--by the handfuls at the conference), and #3 this is a no spend week and I didn't want to mess that up.
On a down note, a month or so ago we paid around $1000 to fix something important in hubby's car (like the engine) and today hubby took the car to the shop because it was making a weird noise when you turn the wheel and he got an estimate to fix the problem--for about $1400 :(
How long is the conference? As far as the car goes, things seem to always go wrong when you are trying to get your finances in order.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember, did you do the Dave Ramsey Debt reduction so that you have the baby emergency fund for the car?
Check out my blog--I have decided to do my modified "No-spend plan" this weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi Mogul...I am heading over to check out your blog (I love your posts and writing style!). Also, I did have my baby emergency fund but spent $1000 LAST month to fix the car. And now it needs another big money fix. ayayay
