Here is where we stand for the beginning of September.
Our regular savings received the expected $500 and we are also able to put away an extra $386, but…we had to transfer $400 to pay for an auto repair and $76 to cover some bills going out of our checking account. Plus, my new life insurance policy went into effect, so that was another $1,040 we had to transfer to pay the annual premium. This month was a loss for that account, but there is always an ebb and flow to things. We also gained $15.86 in interest.
Our vacation fund received the expected $200 and gained and gained .87 cents in interest.
Our emergency fund received the expected $600 and gained $3.04 in interest.
In total for this month, we were able to save $1,686 and earned $19.77 in interest, but had to transfer $1,516 for other expenses. Still a gain. Just not a very large one (frowny face).
