you have got to be kidding me!!! i can't believe it's been seven months!!! CHEERS!!!
this month was weird. i decided to move-no really, actually do it-not just talk about doing it.
i gave notice and then got screwed and had to stay an extra month.
i spent my first thanksgiving without my parents and my sister-which was really weird and not my favorite. it kept me from gaining 10 pounds in two days, but still-not my favorite.
i had a fun time with my future roommate and the cousin, of course. it was a fun day for sure, just not what i'm used to. not going back did help me save a decent chunk of change on travel though, which is a big positive with christmas around the corner.
i had a tails job for 10 days with one of my favorite pups, nutmeg. she is so fun and so sweet. the money from that will show up next month.
my total paydown in month 7 is $1500.00.
$360.00 on my vw
$1,140.00 on my student loans
i actually paid a bit more ($127.93) on my loans, but it came out of savings so technically i just borrowed it from myself.
the great news is i only owe $2388 on my high interest student loan after this month!!! so exciting.
december will be tricky with all the craziness i am going to have coming.
a. moving costs (not cheap and so annoying)
b. christmas gifts. i'm going lean this year....very lean. like mom, dad and sister only lean. don't take it personal friends. buy yourself something fantastic with the money you would have spent on me! :)
c. travel to kc for the holiday-although, thanks to my mom the ticket is paid for
d. holiday parties
i'm sure i'm forgetting things.
regardless, i'm proud of this month, looking forward to next month and just dying for TYOA to start in january. TYOA being, THE YEAR OF ASHLEY! more on this later.
did i mention that i only spent $33.08 on black friday!?!? man, i'm good.
