Dan and I have been working through the month of July to set up a budget and track our spending. We didn't do great, but we kind of did it. Now, using the work we laid out in July, we spent a couple hours in the afternoon and got out August budget knocked out today. I finished the tweaking of it as soon as I got home from taking Dan to work.
We are not paying the car payment and we're going to call the loan people tomorrow to ask them to repo our car. Then we're going to call the insurance ladies and cancel our full coverage and then we'll be able to spend that 106.31 on something we can actually use. We won't have to lose our phones and we should be able to pay all of the bills as well as get the kids enrolled in school. And then with the adjustments we have made, we should be able to pay Livi's tuition and I'm hoping we can get her back into dance. That's a big deal for her. And Aaron always helps with Payton's sports so the long term is looking like there is some real hope for a change.
We even budgeted in paying off one tiny little bill in full and making a small payment on another bill that is long overdue.
We also have a car to drive for a while and we have plans on budgeting our gas so Dan can drive home from work instead of walking in this heat.
This has been an amazing day! :)
