My journey to financial empowerment.

I am still here. Still alive and well. Will be posting updates soon.

I apologize to my fellow bloggers. I have been slacking on catching up on your blogs and haven't been posting comments either. Something Single Ma said in her Who's Reading Fabulous Financials post stood out to me. I could so tackle the ridiculous amount of time it takes to go to each and every blog I read by just subscribing to each blog in a reader. Duuhhhh! (I can be so slow sometime) So I did that today. If you didn't have an option to subscribe.........well.......I didn't subscribe. LOL! Anyhoo, I thought I would share that tidbit with you all and hope that you would do the same with my blog. SUBSCRIBE SNITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!! Via Reader: Subscribe in a reader Via Email: Enter your email address: Delivered by FeedBurner LOVE YALL!

JUNE BUDGET I increased my daycare budget by $50. Soooooo happy it isn't by $140. I lowered my internet budget to $10. I am hoping to meet my gas budget of $150. It is the 7th and I have only had to fill up once for $15. I am traveling with my church next week to a youth conference with my daughter and I won't have to drive. I am also traveling to Louisiana the week after that on business and all expenses including gas will be reimbursed. I will actually come out on top. JUNE GOALS Career - Update resume - Start job hunting and apply - Practice for upcoming interviews (I haven't done an interview in 3 years) Business - Obtain domain name - Look into starting a website - Order business cards - Network - Start business plan - Research Finances - Bring in more secondary income - Spend less - Reevaluate debt payoff plan Health - Plan and start exercise regimen (gosh! I swear this is ALWAYS on my goal list...lol) - Do a detox - Look for a spa or clinic that does colonics ...

MAY BUDGET RESULTS May was rocky. I spent double my gas budget and almost 7 times my dining budget. I brought in over $1000 in extra income (with the help of the tax rebate of course). Income: I had $35.70 left over from last month. I brought in an extra $1042.70 that consisted of blog income, Revolutionary Money Exchange referrals, Vindale Research , and my tax rebate. Rent & Utilities : Everything is okie dokie in this area. I need to lower my cell phone plan though. Auto: Back on the car note hustle. I am paying a lil more than my car note. Food: I was under my grocery budget by $3.89. Debt: I made regular payments and paid down a credit card. Misc: I went way over my beauty budget. The internet is the debil and satan's offspring invented sales. *sigh* I was $40 under my medical budget. I had to had my pap smear done again and after thinking about it I came to the conclusion that I shouldn't have to pay my co-pay again since it is the nurse practitioner'...

I am still here guys. This past week has been busy with work and getting ready to attend a 4 day youth conference with my daughter next week. I wont be able to post my end of the month report for May and my June budget until tomorrow night so look out for it. Hope you all are doing well. BYEEE!!!!!!!!
