Interest Earned October

October interest earnings report!

FNBO $10.52

NFCU $71.81

USAA $0.13    

Total $82.46

Slightly more than last month...by a entire $0.73! We will take it and add it to the Pot of Possibilities!

Refund From Oral Surgery

I am happy to report that an unexpected snowflake came in the mail. A check for $140.08 from our daughter's oral surgeon. It appears that their estimate for what insurance would cover was low, putting the amount we paid upfront high. The end result is a refund to our bank account!

I will count this as a contribution to our Pot of Possibilities! 

Interesting to note my last post about getting our Pot to an even $80K by the end of October. I indicated that we might likely be $115 short assuming very similar contributions to previous months. It looks like I found that money without any real effort on my part! Who hoo! 

I suppose I could still make the effort to add another $115. I will keep you posted!

Look at that! We have less than $1000 to go to reach the 80K milestone. I think this will be the goal for October, I'm going to stash some extra funds in here and make it happen. I know I can come up with at least what we added this past month, plus another $115 to make it happen. We just need to spend a little less this month. I'm actually excited...maybe I will exceed it!
