2014 Challenge - Week 37

Thanks scfr! I was able to deposit $20 for Week 37 of the challenge. I didn't make my max target amount this week, but I had some unplanned spending (for needs not wants). Hopefully when I get my e-fund in place I will be better prepared.

2014 Challenge - Week 38

I deposited $31 for Week 38 of the challenge. Today was payday so that helped, but I also wound up with a flat tire and an unplanned expense for that today. The last few weeks have been expensive, so I'm looking forward to replacing funds with the extra paycheck in October.

I deposited $25 for Week 39 of the challenge. I have nothing new to report - still spending, spending, spending and it looks like I'll have to dump more money into the car.

2014 Challenge - Week 40

I received $50 from Discover cash back award and I was able to deposit $29 for Week 40 of the challenge (my highest remaining amount). Today was payday as well (3 this month!), so I also transferred money to start paying myself back from the savings withdrawal I made.

2014 Challenge - Week 44

It's payday and I deposited $23 for Week 44 of the challenge. The bigger news...the really EXCITING news (to me anyway) is that I paid myself back for the savings withdrawal I had to make in September. I'm so thrilled to be able to replace those funds! This will give you an idea of how I'm feeling right now LOL:

You are doing great and even better that you could pay yourself back! Keep up the great work.

[deedee421]

Thanks creditcardfree! I was so excited you would have thought I hit the lottery. It is so hard building my emergency fund that I really hated having to take money from it.
