Where it Went 2/04-2/17

Had to check out of town for a mini-crisis with my future in-laws but wanted to throw a quick update in to keep track of my budget. So here's how I did the past two weeks compared to the budget I set out.

Budgeted/Actual

Credit Card - 100/300

Aunt Sallie Mae - 406/406.96

Defaulted Student Loan - 260/0 (hasn't posted)

Nice Collection Agency - 125/0 (hasn't posted)

Train ticket - 80/0

Groceries - 50/0

Beauty - 30/0

Valentine's Day - 20/5
Transfer to Savings - 0/50
Entertainment - 0/90

Misc. - 67/272

I got my tax refund so I spent a bunch of money on miscellaneous stuff (booze, lunches out). I did, however, send $300 to my credit card this month, knocking the balance down to about $135.

I didn't end up going to see my friend so I didn't need the train ticket or the manicure.

I put some money in savings and also paid towards a concert ticket for another music festival I'm attending this summer.
