52-Week Savings Challenge
Week 30 (saved to Week 38)
I finally got around to taking the bottles back again, so that was a nice boost to this Challenge! I also had a few returns, as well as the Internet reimbursement from S's work. The Chase Freedom card closed so there's rounding from that, as well.
Snowflakes
Reimbursement - $22.48
Freedom Card Rounding - $35.64
Bottles - $90.70
Returns - $87.25
Total Snowflakes: $236.07
Rounding (to reserve): $0.07
Beginning Balance: $992
Deposit: $236
Ending Balance: $1,228
Reserve: $0.69 + $0.07 = $0.76
This puts me at 89% of the Challenge, and we're almost 60% through the year. Only $150 left to go!
Chase Freedom Rewards
I've projected an average of $50 per month in rewards; July was right there, at $52.65. (The billing cycle closes on the 14th of the month, so "July" is really June 15-July 14.)
I did cash in my movie card fund, so there's a $100 statement credit here. I did get the new movie card at a discount, but I applied that amount ($19.50) toward the 52-Week Challenge.
Starting Balance: $207.77
July Rewards: $52.65
Statement Credit: -$100.00
Ending Balance: $160.42
Movie Card Fund
Goal - $100
Balance - $100.00
Remaining - $0
Anniversary Dinner Fund
Goal - $300
Balance - $300
Remaining - $0
Slush Fund
Goal - $400
Balance - $160.42
Remaining - $239.58
I'm still just letting the slush fund ride until I decide what to do with it. At an average $50/month with five months left, I should be well set to meet the $400 goal.
