Darn! I was kind of hoping my paycheck was going to go in the bank this morning due to the holiday weekend. It didn't. The banks will probably be open tomorrow.
That's okay. No pain involved, it was arbitrary. Picking daughter up tonight and expect we will do some grocery shopping and go out to eat. That will throw my amount rolling over to less than my goal.. for a few hours and not by much. But that goal will be realized this coming pay period.
It's also a technicality because I still have money in the medical savings account. Some of that should have been spent on one purchase but I used the main account by accident. So, I actually will have reached that goal but the money was displaced.
Now that I've reached a few major goals it's time to look at more consistent goals. Now that my income is back up, I'm setting a goal of putting aside at least $200 every paycheck. Except during vacation. Now that warmer weather is here, I can probably lay aside more than that every check. I'll shoot for $300 each check, though some of that is to offset winter bills and lower income part of the year, so some of that may be used during winter.
I have to get out and tighten the plastic sheeting on the solarium. Heat, wind and snow have stretched it so it's loose. I checked, no signs of ripping or tearing. But it flaps in the wind really bad. Need to add more lateral supports to the main structure, too. Not much money, just a lot of work.
