Two days partying when old friend came into town $200

Wow that is a lot. My best friend came over for a week, and she wanted to go some place nice every day. I ended up spending like $400 this past week.

So no more going out for a while.

Hope you had fun those two days, you probably wont be spending that much for a while, huh?

Good move on the health insurance, very essential.

I just got back from a 4-day bachelor party at a beach house near San Luis Obispo.  I budgeted money for all the expenses, and stayed within budget!

I only had cash, and everyone else is basically in the same financial situation as me, which helped a considerable amount.  Still, considering the cost of gas, food, alcohol, dining out, and the rental of the ebach house, I was stil able to do it all for about $240 AND put $100 towards my emergency fund as well as make a credit card payment early.  Of course, I have to do without buying groceries for the rest of the week, but I don't mind eat ramen and jello cups all that much.

How has everyone else been doing?

Bought a couple pairs of jeans and a couple of shirts. Expense.  Went out to eat last night -$35 oh well it's payday I'm still making traction on the debt
Paid $700 towards credit card
Paid $600 towards credit line.

Fico scores seem to keep rising. The debt keeps shrinking!
