September Snowflakes

I'm tracking money coming in this year from interest, credit card rewards, and other miscellaneous places. Reward money is going towards paying down our van loan. Each month I calculate the total and send it in towards the principal of the loan. Interest is just accumulating in our bank account to add to cash savings this year.

Ebay offer $0.20
Amazon Rewards $8.92
US Bank $40.64
USAA Interest $0.14
NFCU Interest $77.79
FNBO Interest $109.01    

Total $276.43
YTD $2,386.49

On track to 'earn' over $3,000 this year in rewards and interest.
