Joint Spending Update

I spent an hour or so on Wednesday morning sorting out how much Jordan and I had spent so far with our joint credit card... I had a feeling it was creeping up faster than perhaps we had intended it to.  We did know, that our first month would be the hardest though.

So, currently the balance owing is $1,298.94.

I will be reimbursed for $313.44 for my trip to Saskatoon and $144 for contact lenses that I bought and wrote a cheque for $180 to cover our food and cabin expenses for our vacation.



So, we have $178.50 'left' to spend, before we hit our budget cap of $1,200.
