28-year-old Newbie

I have good news since my last post.

1.DH likes his new job
2.Even though the hourly rate is lower than what he made at his last job, he gets anywhere from 4-12 hours of overtime weekly, so he will be bringing home almost the same amount of $.
3. He went almost 2 full weeks without a paycheck and I only had to take $60 out of our savings to cover October's expenses.

Not trying to toot my own horn, but October wasn't such a bad month, after all!

Tiny blip on the radar. If only everybody were that responsible! Good job, keep up with the updates!

Thank you very much!

November and December were both good months for me. I reached my savings goals for both months. DH is still enjoying his job. I'm going to New Orleans in February for Mardi Gras, so my goal for January is to save enough money to pay for that trip. I've picked up some extra hours at my part-time job, so that shouldn't be hard to do.
