save one thousand dollars

the end is in sight!

I sold something on ebay then put the money in my savings. I now have $700.00 dollars saved. So, so close!

2nd paycheck of the month and I was able to put another $200.00 away. I am up to $650.00. Should be hitting $700.00 by the end of this month and then, meet my goal by the end of next!

Then, I will focus my goal on getting some debts paid off. It will be nice to have this as a buffer for when things happen.

At this rate, I should have close to $600.00 by the end of the month.

One of my online payments didn’t go through with the amount I thought i had bumped it up to, so .. I put the difference in savings and made sure the new amount would go through starting next month. That was for the Lasik surgery and I need to be sure that is paid of by November. So, I did the math and I am still on track for that.

I will be getting the money for my truck today and after paying insurance and a few other things, that will go in as well. Should be very close to $500.00 this week.

So cool!!

I now have $180.00 socked away.

I still have about $860.00 to go. I went grocery shopping today and, due to smarter buying, had about 1/3 of my budgeted amount left over. I used part of it to buy a spice rack, and then the rest went into savings.

Once I get the money for the truck, I really should be half way there.

It’s old, has some mileage on it, but is in good shape. If I get what I asked for, this will put me almost halfway to my savings goal.

Woohoo!!

With my new daughter due in April, it will be nice to have a cushion, albeit a small one.

Only $900.00 to go. :-)
