So here's where my money went in comparison to the budget I set out two weeks ago:
Projected/Actual
Emergency Fund - 50/0
Friend C - 60/60
Credit Card - 100/100
Aunt Sallie Mae - 406/406.96
Defaulted Student Loan - 260/260
Nice Collection Agency - 125/0 (hasn't cleared yet)
Groceries - 50/50
Misc. - 95/190
Electronics - 0/85
Woah Nelly! I also put the I-Flip on my nearly paid off credit card but I will be paying the entire balance today. I'm excited to get it for almost half off courtesy of woot.com which everyday has a different product available at a discount. 60 minutes of recording time for only $79 plus $5 shipping is about half what they're going for in other stores.
It feels good to almost be done paying off my "short term debt." Today I will knock out the credit card and Overdue Utilities! Stay tuned for my latest budget later on today.

Oops just remembered that $60 out of the miscellaneous category was to pay for the housekeeper to get my apartment ready to show. I feel a little better now. :-)
wow, I'm definitely your cheerleader but that videophone was a huge splurge...have you been wanting it for a while? are you actually going to use it?
I'm not judging you as I am in similar financial shape but I recommend staying off of woot.com and put your credit card away (in a drawer at home!)...

I want that iFlip.
Let me know how it goes, and I may end up doing video blogs LOL
But I may not have bought it being in your position :)
Oh man I knew I'd get flack about the flip but I really wanted one and it was only $79 bucks compared to $130 in the stores. Bring it on though I need more encouragement. In my defense, I never buy gadgets.
