Update on Daddy

I would like to thank everyone for their prayers and nice words. I really appreciate it. My dad was released today and is home doing fine. I enjoyed my time at my parent's immensely. My dad looks like he is going to turn over a new leaf and this event has actually brought the family closer. He was all jokes every time I went to visit him in the hospital. Looks like everyone is getting into the healthy business. My dad needs to eat right and so the rest of the family is following suit to encourage him. I am so happy.

Once I catch up with things I will be back on my game. I spent a little down there but the money is coming from definite leftovers in the budget. So basically everything worked out.

Thanks again everyone and I look forward to reading up on everyone's blogs and seeing what craziness has come up since I have been gone.

That's good to hear. I was hoping that he would get better.

Tell him to take it easy and don't be in a hurry to go back to work.

so glad that your Dad is on the mend and you were able to have some time with your family. It's much more important than the finances in the long run.

Home Purchase Plan - How I faired

Back in January I developed my Home Purchase Plan (HPP for short). I listed exactly what I was looking for in my new home including my needs and wants. I printed up my HPP and carried it will me everywhere. I especially took it with me when I went house hunting with my agent. I had a momentary relapse (I'll explain more on that on another post) but got back on track and stuck to my guns. I ended up with a beautiful house that fits all my needs and wants. HOME PURCHASE PLAN The home I want: Price: $0 -> $190,000 $180,000 Ideal Monthly Mortgage (including taxes, PMI, HOA, & hazard) : $1200 (max $1300) $1310 Location: Surrounding Orlando Area Check Bedrooms: 3+ 4 Bathrooms: 2+ 2 Square footage: 1700 s.f. + 1810 sf Year Built: 2000+ 1998 HOA: $100/month max $150/yr NEEDS: * A-rated school district Check * Quick access to major highways Check * Good daycare Check * Nice...

I also listed a number of ways I keep my grocery budget so low. Today I did some grocery shopping for meat and some other misc items. Here is what I bought: - 2 packages of chicken breasts - 2 packages of drumsticks - 2 whole hens - 2 packages of chicken wings - 1 bag of roma tomatoes - 1 bag of onions - 1 bag of organic baby carrots - 2 gallons of water (not shown) - 1 bottle of bbq sauce Total = $24.90 One big way to save on groceries each month is to package the food you buy into servings sizes. Your serving size depends on how many people are in your family. I separate out my sizes based on how much food my daughter and I consume in one meal. Take for instance drumsticks: My daughter will eat one drumstick while I will eat two. So I package those in threes. I know some folks are visual so here is wh...
