April Spend Summary

Posted by with 7 comments

Quite a few of you know that I was pretty excited to get this post put together - it's a quick one, but powerful.  This is the first monthly spend summary where Jordan and I were spending money according to our New Plan.  It's the least we've ever spent since we started tracking money.

the.least.we.have.ever.spent.
...in the last 22 months.


AND - Jordan and I even made and addendum to the plan which includes an extra $300 every 3 (or 4) months to top op our pantry and do any bulk shopping that we need to do.  

I'm over the moon.

This was the least stressful month I think we've ever had and the least expenses.  Crazy.

    You are getting a handle on things for sure. You didn't give up until you got a plan that worked for you both.

    Congratulations!! That's awesome. Although how the heck did you spend so little on your pets. I think we average out around $75 per month :S

    That's awesome! I really like the idea of an addendum to restock the pantry every few months. I think I'm going to steal your idea.
