So the sad news: I somehow didn’t pay my phone bill in April. I looked through my bank records and it didn’t happen. I paid the March bill late in the month, and the May bill early, and somehow missed the April. I was charged 1.37 or something in interest on a late payment.
Groceries consisted of tortillas, brown sugar, oatmeal, crumpets and a couple other things.

I am at $941.94

Anonymous asked: Why don't you add up your expenses and income at the end of each list?

It has never occurred to me to do it. I just take the total from the day before and add/subtract what is necessary.

Lots of work going on the past couple weeks.

June 14, 2010

Expenses
2.84-Lunch
16.40-Bus tickets

Income
100.00-HST
200.00-Money from Mom

I haven’t had to buy bus tickets in a while because I’ve been taking my bike a lot. I probably could have pushed buying them back a little bit more, but I didn’t want to be without in a “just in case” moment.

The gov is screwing with our taxes again, so we get $300 from them (in the income bracket I am in) in three installments. This was the first.
Mom got a refund for some stuff I’d paid for. She gave me the money.

I am at 588.99.

This was the pay for the week I only worked 5 hours.

I am at $308.24. My credit card bill is coming soon.
