October 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. 

Amex Rewards $38.93
Chase Rewards $19.81
Lumbee ROC $39.61
USAA Interest $0.11
NFCU Interest $80.70
FNBO Interest $103.89

Total $283.05
YTD $2,669.54

Still on track to 'earn' more than $3,000 this year. I notice that tracking this extra income from interest and rewards from credit cards brings me to a place of gratitude. It's like appreciating the cherry on top of an ice cream sundae or the cool breeze on the hot beach. May you find gratitude in your life and in your financial situation.
