My Journey From Debt

Well, as I mentioned in my previous post, the money isn’t quite stretching as far as I need it to right now. I currently have $72.13 in checking and the $50.00 check I wrote to pay my cell phone bill has not gone through yet. This means I actually have $22.13 right now.

Also, I have yet to pay my Landline/Cable TV and Internet bills as well as rent. Luckily, I get paid from my part-time job tomorrow and my full-time job on Friday. From this money, I will hopefully have enough to pay those bills that I have left.

I did recently receive my next electric bill, but I’m not sure if I am going to be able to pay it with this week’s checks or if I will have to wait until I get some more money again. Fortunately, it isn’t due until the 23rd so I have a little bit of time to figure that one out.

At this time, an observant reader will notice that there is a bit of a discrepancy between my current report of account balances and my previous report. Previously, I was a bit short but not by this much. So, where did the rest of my money go?

Well, this isn’t an exact itemized list, but a sort of summary of what I have spent money on lately and the numbers are approximate rather than precise.

$140.00 on vehicle maintenance/repair (new battery and a few other items)
$25.00 at a local hardware store where I got a new extension cord and plier as well as a couple of other items
$75.00 on gas for my vehicle
$40.00 on fast food/eating out
$100.00 on items that I purchased on behalf of my dad and he will be paying me back for

I did make my $400.00 payment on Credit Card 1 so that I wasn’t late on that, took $60.00 out of an ATM. I think this pretty much gets this site up-to-date with how my finances currently are and I just have the three bills left to pay from last month that I should be able to take care of by the end of the week.
