Good things this month:

• I got a bank account and RESP Mutual fund account opened in Cub's name
• In a month that is historically bad for income, I brought in over $3000
• I have $1100 of outstanding invoices that should be paid next month

Things that aren't so good:

• Knowing that I have to pay off $4800 of debt in the next 110 days
• Still paying off credit card debt that I incurred over 3 years ago
• Needing work done on my van that is going to cost me in the $3000 range

We could have done a lot better this month. We paid over $950 toward our debt this month. It seems to be moving so slowly. Seeing the numbers gives me incentive to get these debts over with! Hubby's car payments will be finished by September, and then he is planning on saving the equivalent of the amount of those payments in a seperate account toward the purchase of a newer vehicle.
