52 WMSC - Finally Paid

June 29th, 2014 at 03:59 am

I finally got paid by my one client -- $625 -- woot! I was also paid $25 for another book review and got a $10 gift card for the new monitor I had to purchase for work. I also finally went to see the movie I was supposed to see at the end of May, but at a different theater so my AMC gift card balance hasn't changed. We thought we had a coupon for free tickets, but it was actually for discounted ticket prices (well, I thought that's what it was to begin with, but everyone argued me into thinking it was for free tickets!). Luckily I remembered a gift card for that theater that I got about four years ago and never used, so it was still no money out of pocket. There was also a coupon for a free small popcorn, which we upgraded to a medium. Total for two of was $18 on the gift card (I got a drink, too).

52-Week Mega Savings Challenge
Week 26 [started late, now on my week 20]

Snowflakes
Client payment: $625.17
Book Review: $25.00
Gift Card: $10.00
Movie Card: $18.00
Total Snowflakes: $678.17
Rounding (from reserve): $1.83

Beginning Balance: $1115
Deposit: $680
Ending Balance: $1795

Reserve: $3.88 - $1.83 = $2.05

This puts me at 100%+ of the regular challenge, over 65% of the double challenge, and over 25% of the mega challenge. Still need to get working harder on the mega challenge, but I'm excited about having finished the regular challenge!!

    Many of us track our income and debt categories every 4 months [quarterly] to check our progress Dec.31/March 31/June 30/Sept. 30 & Dec. 31 to see our progress or any slippage. It's big advantage is gentle reminder of expenses to come like back-to-school, Thanksgiving, Xmas, Valentine, ROTH, Income Tax, Property Tax, Vacation etc.

    If I hit my goals for the previous quarter, I give myself a reward.

    My 'ultimate' goal is the mega challenge, $6,980, but even the regular challenge is an accomplishment for me. Smile Ideally I'd like to get to at least $5,000 by the end of the year, but I'm going to have to get a bit more aggressive if I want to get there.
