No excitement this month and we’re absolutely fine with that. In our house, excitement usually doesn’t equate to a windfall. It usually means we are hemorrhaging money.
Speaking of hemorrhaging money, it’s Christmas time again, which is one of our most favorite times of the year. Our reader probably hasn’t heard much out of us lately because it’s hard to write a blog about saving and being frugal when you are spending $1,000 on Christmas presents.
I don’t know that we actually spent that much, but I plan on adding it all up after it’s said and done and exposing it to the entire one person that reads our blog.
In savings, we saved our normal $500, transferred $14.80 in interest from our emergency fund, and earned $5.58 in interest. We didn’t bank our child tax credit this month because we had to pay off the new furniture for our oldest daughter before we started getting charged interest.
In our vacation fund we saved our normal $300 and earned .80 cents in interest.
