Finally, the 90 degree days are gone in my state! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE summer, but this summer extremely hot, and I have been ready for some cooler weather. Normally, it starts cooling down the beginning of September, but it took until the end this year. Next week, some of the lows are going to be in the 40's. Brrrr!
That reminds me, we need to get the propane tank for our fireplace filled. During the winter, we save so much on our heating bill by using the fireplace instead of the electric heat. Our living room has high, cathedral ceilings, and heating them with the heat pump is a losing battle. The fireplace gets the whole house warm and cozy in no time. Filling the tank will probably cost close to $300; I think it is pretty much completely empty.
DH said he should find out next week whether or not he will get his bonus, and if so, how much exactly it will be. If he does get it, I think we will put the majority in savings, using some to help cover the cost of getting the propane tank filled. I am always torn between sending money to savings or towards our debt. I know DH and I need more in savings, but it's just so much more satisfying to see the debt go down. If we are going to end the year with $1500 in savings, I definitely will need to send a good chunk to savings. I'm getting a little ahead of myself though, since we don't even know if he'll get it or not.
