Dates mixed up

Glad I didn't spend all my money. Got my dates mixed up for the tax refund. It's scheduled to be sent on 2/11/15, which is tomorrow. For some reason I thought it was today. So that means it probably won't be in the bank until Thur.

Still have money in the bank. Been itching to order that security camera system and could afford to now but better to wait. 

After that, the biggest major expenditure I plan on for this year is an X-Box. Lots of home improvement plans for this year but supplies can all be purchased gradually, unlike the larger projects from last year. 

I do need to save up money for vacation but haven't even made solid plans where we'll be going this year. Lots of little road trips over the summer. 

All stocked up with electronic cigarette supplies, CBD oil for the moment, vitamin supplements and ordered protein powder. Most of those are cheap in the long term but have to be purchased in large amounts at once. Renewed the car registration online last night. 

It won't happen overnight but my goal now is to have at least three months worth of pay set aside in the bank. Eventually more but that's my current goal, which is reasonable and rational. Now that work is picking up again and I have no major extra expenses, going to try to live on base pay and lay aside the extra. That was my plan before but kind of fell off it. Good reasons but they still set me back. Though I now have insulation, dentures, most of a concrete ramp (needs finish work) and the major solarium structure in place. 

I do still want some more pieces to round out the wood shop to do better work. Couple of those aren't cheap. Less expensive in the long run than buying finished furniture. Actually each one less expensive than one piece of furniture I need, so not a bad deal. I'll get to them.
