I can't believe it's already November. It's a wonder we're not all suffering whiplash from how fast time is flyin'. Let's get to the numbers, shall we?
The Debt: $7,913.00
The Savings: $3,966.52
The good news is that my debt balance is below $8,000. That is awesome! (I hope you don't think ill of me for tooting my own horn for a moment.) And this amount even includes today's purchases. But I'll get to that in a few.
The bad news is that this is the fourth consecutive month that my savings has gone down. That is definitely the wrong direction. I am appalled by this. And the thing is, it could get worse before it gets better. For example, when I had my car repair a couple months ago, it was to replace a strut. That repair is usually done in pairs, but I only had one done at the time. I have to get the other one replaced soon.
I don't want to sound like it's all doom and gloom. For example, I'll get my freelance check next week. It is because of this infusion that I went shopping today. I've been pretty depressed about my wardrobe situation lately, so I went shopping today to find some work clothes. I wasn't as successful as I'd have liked, but I did buy a cute casual pullover and a couple basics, including some leather gloves. Also, I recently ordered two pairs of thermal underwear. I charged both purchases, but I've already set up the payment to cover them.
So that's where we are right now. I'm sure I'll check in again soon.

It isn't so much about the numbers . . .
BALANCE . . .
Doesn't matter if the savings have gone down a bit . . .
You're at the point where you can spend a little cash and still feel good . . .
