Another payday, more bills paid
I sure do like getting paid, and yesterday was payday! I received $485.44 from my full time job, $294.45 from my part time job, and $163.93 for some other part-time work. This puts me in what I feel is a pretty good position for the rest of the month. I’m pretty sure (hoping anyway) that between this pay period and the one that ends right before Christmas, I should be able to get everything paid and not fall behind or have to wait for a January paycheck to pay December bills.
Subtract from this payday my $25.00 automatic transfer to savings, which puts my savings account at $454.05, and I am left with $940.95 in my checking account. However, the two checks I wrote last time I paid bills for my cable/landline and internet bills still haven’t gone through so there goes $225.00 and my rent check of $355.00 hasn’t gone through, this brings my actual amount that I have left to $360.95 so perhaps my previous excitement was a bit premature, especially considering that I still need to purchase some Christmas gifts.
I am paying one additional bill with this current paycheck and that is my electric bill that came in the mail recently. While I could just enter it in sentence form, I will follow the format that I have used previously when paying bills:
$100.00 – Electricity – Amount Due $59.26
This leaves my current cash available in my checking account at $260.95. I also feel it is worth mentioning that I spent $11.21 on lunch-for-two yesterday bringing my total cash-in-wallet to $29.00 and I may need to get more cash from the ATM before the month is over.
