Back to School Fund - Completed

January 16th, 2013 at 03:10 pm

My “Back to School Fund” has been completely funded with $500.00. This is what I’ve budgeted for clothes, shoes, supplies and school fees. It won’t be needed until 08/2013 but it’s important for me to think ahead and make sure that my girls have what they need. I’m very proud of myself for meeting this goal so early on.

Today I set up automatic withdrawals in my bank account for my Christmas, Vacation, Car Fund/Maintenance and Property Tax savings accounts. Normally, every two weeks I’d go into my bank account and move the money over. With the bank having a bi-weekly option this was so easy. I just looked at our payroll calendar and set them right up. Took about five minutes. Why didn’t I do this before?

My homework tonight is to file coupons and search online deals to see if there is anything I can get free or close to it from the store that I would need using my coupons. I work half day Fridays so that is when I’d do my run to the store. It helps if I’m prepared and have a list. I also need to read a few chapters from my library books.
