Sort my finances out

?

With a full time job until the end of the school year, My finances are getting new colors, more green and less RED!!

happy happy happy!!

Due to various job situations over the last years (one of them was buying a house week before loosing my job!), our financial situation isn’t great, but my new job is helping. I just hope it will last so it keeps getting better!

I feel much better. I’m kind of back on top of all of my finances. It just requred a little tweeking of my lifestyle. This might not be forever, but it’s not as high priority at the moment. woot!

Wow.. bought my house a year ago… was thinking 2 bedroom .. then got a 3 bedroom.. nicer… and a year later.. I have 2 tenants in the rooms .. great tenants too .. all the prayers did help ..and so 2 tenants helping paying of my mortgage.. finance is better now too… used to be 70% income to the house.. now I have some spare cash can eat out and even go for a holiday and getting new TV or even a projector… oh yeah and can save up some $$ to pay back some $$ from parents hehe

I’ve now got my current account another month up to date. I am also doing a good job of keeping a record of all the money I spend from my accounts and cash as well.

I’ve had a look at my account details in MS Money and they are all at least 6 months behind. However I am now up to date with my savings account which was a month behind.

We are kind of budgeting now, we have a plan and things are getting paid off and cleared. Its nice to see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Saying that, we are about to add a 180k mortgage to our list of debts. But a mortgage is a ‘good debt’.

OK, so I’m violating the plan. But I’ve started by talking to a financial person who’s helping my friend get a house. We’ll see what happens.
