July Spending: Ouch

I don’t usually post much of my personal financial information here, but I think making this post will help me put things in perspective.

Last month started off like any other month but things soon got a bit out of control. I purchased my digital camera a year ago with a 12 month no interest financing plan. I have made payments on it each month, but didn’t really realize that the payoff date was this past month. If I didn’t pay the bill off in full, I would have acquired nearly $200 more in back finances charges: no thanks.

On top of this, I also had to pay the remainder of my site redesign fee. Next up, the trip to Panama City Beach. Oh, and the bulk order of OCIA.net t-shirts

All this on top of my regular bills and grocery expenses made for a painful month. My goal for August is to spend absolutely as little as possible because July just wasn’t cool!

    So were you over or under budget for the month?

    In other words, you want us to use the big ol’ donation button huh? :)

    Saving money can be almost as fun as making it! Just one question for ya: why didn’t you go with a pre-made template and just tweak it instead of paying for a site redesign?

    Cooliojones - I also got a fully custom backend out of the deal.
