As predicted, we exceeded the $100K mark this month!! Last year our total contribution to the Pot was just over $20K, after three months we are halfway to meeting that same goal. A raise does help the finances.
We did received $4,200 in stimulus money for myself, my husband and our college daughter. The $1,400 above is my portion. We saved $1,400 towards college tuition this fall. My husband contributed his portion to causes close to his heart.
Two other unusual contributions are the $20 found cash and the x ray refund. I found a $20 bill in a Walmart parking lot. No one was around, it wasn't windy. Someone was just unfortunate and I was the lucky finder. I have never found paper money on the ground before! The x ray refund was a surprise. Apparently our insurance finally processed for an x ray my daughter had in the fall of 2018. We had paid the clinic and they refunded us the amount the insurance paid.
I'm am proud that we underspent during each pay period this month. April has us traveling, helping our daughter move and some repairs to my van are expected. We will see if we can maintain that next month!
For now, I'm celebrating our HUGE milestone of passing the $100,000 mark! Yippee!! Who hoo!! Happy Dancin'!!
