Hmmm

Well, I am going to just say it out-my debt paydown this month officially sucks. The plan was to pretty munch send all of DH's paycheck to Chase this week. However, DH explained to me that he wants to start building our savings up. So, we sent $440 to savings. We also went ahead and paid all the expected medical bills for the baby, even though they aren't due till October, just to get them done with-another $326. DH's work boots literally fell apart the other day, so there went another $180 (this should be partly reimbursed by his work, but I am not sure of the exact amount). They had lasted two years, so I know they are worth it, and DH says they don't hurt his feet as much as the cheap ones, which I know is important when you are on your feet 12 hours a day. Another $350 went to DH's doctor bills and car tax. While I can account where every penny went, it still kind of sucks that our debt went down so little this month! Oh well.

I know DH is right about the savings. I will be getting a payment in October for completion of a project I don't normally get to work on, so this should around $950? This can put our savings up to $1535. DH wants to get the savings up to $2k before we really start blasting the debt again, so we plan to add another $465 in August. I am hoping by September we can resume debt blasting mode again.
