Savings Update = $1,600

by

Instead of holding onto the monthly amount for our health insurance in our checking account (it’s paid every two months and next due in April), I decided to stick it in our savings account and let it collect a little bit of interest and maybe it can end up staying there since I will do my best to pay our next health insurance payment without it. That amounted to $350. I added $153 dollars more to make our savings balance an even $1,600.

Only $900 more to go to reach our goal! I think we *might* be able to do it by the end of the month since my husband received a raise at his temporary job. That’s extra money I am not counting on with trying to predict our cash flow. I also do not count any blog income, and I should be receiving a few hundred dollars near the end of the month.

I really want to hit our savings goal so I can continue aggressively paying down our debt. I miss seeing the credit card debt numbers go down. I want to hit the $20,000 magic number 🙂

Are You Affected by Daylight Savings Time? Make Sure You Don’t Miss a Deadline

by

I caught an interesting article on Yahoo about how some computers may not make the daylight savings time switch since it has been adjusted from April to March 11 this year. I know my computer has an update to make it compliant, but according to the article – don’t take for granted that every computer will make the switch seemlessly.

At first glance, it probably won’t affect things too much except for appointments and such. However, one part of the article is of particular interest:

“It can also affect the businesses we use, so check and save your bank deposits and payments during this period, especially if there’s a fee for missing a deadline.”
