And I second Sonya :) You could show them all how to do it!<br /><br />Our budget was virtually non-existent in October because of our job related trip to Cali but we definitely spent less than we made. It feels pretty good after months of unemployment...Lenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16064081200654561079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-23961490076221775712013-11-03T21:47:26.275-05:002013-11-03T21:47:26.275-05:00If I don't have enough to live on in retiremen...If I don't have enough to live on in retirement I will come live with you!Out My windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456481267171643227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-5340753431386116492013-11-03T19:24:07.704-05:002013-11-03T19:24:07.704-05:00Congrats!!

It really depleted the savings accounts, and with the holidays coming, it doesn't look like there will be too much MORE savings. :(. Anyway, I'm going to try and join you in 2014 for your yearly savings goals. Maybe then I'll stay on track!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13940623529019637336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-57179021755236267812013-11-03T09:25:00.420-05:002013-11-03T09:25:00.420-05:00October was a "spendy" kind of month. We...October was a "spendy" kind of month. We bought new carpet for upstairs bedrooms, bamboo hardwood for main floor and ceramic tile for bathrooms and kitchen. We got some good deals and i didn't have to take any $$ out of savings. I just didn't ADD to my savings either and paid for the flooring from my two paycheques. We also laid a flagstone patio in October which was a bit more expensive than we thought it would be but I'm glad it's done. Hoping to put the place up for sale in January or February so spending on updates is a must. Congrats on reaching your savings goal early!!

We are starting a new budget and I hope we can sock away as much of my new pay as you have with your surplus.Alex Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15562233895276078957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-40204375009486428642013-11-02T20:08:12.474-04:002013-11-02T20:08:12.474-04:00You are so amazing with your money skills!
