I love February. I get paid monthly and in February my next payday always surprises me. February was a good month for me. I was able to save a little bit and I found out I was getting my refund. Thanks to a rebate my savings increased from $5,636 to $6,041. My travel fund went from $258 to $308 and my boston terrier fund increased by another $20 (slow and steady). My slush fund has a sad $17, but a large part of my tax refund will be going here. I'm actually excited to do my updates at the end of March because of the additional boost from my tax refund! Finally I've completed 20% of my retirement contribution goal.
When it comes to my debt I'm chipping away as always.
And here is where my money went:
| Clothes |
| $84.91 |
| Computer/Electronics |
| $70.34 |
| Dining |
| $114.50 |
| Donation |
| $16.00 |
| Entertainment |
| $128.27 |
| Fees |
| $0.00 |
| Gifts |
| $0.00 |
| Groceries |
| $123.58 |
| Health |
| $130.00 |
| Hobbies |
| $0.00 |
| Household |

| Insurance |
| $0.00 |
| Laundry | | $10.00 |
| Media |
| $73.39 |
| Misc |
| $2.34 |
| Personal Care |
| $0.00 |
| Sports/Fitness |
| $50.00 |
| Transportation |
| $95.00 |
| Total |
| $961.57 |
It is higher then normal, but I also took out a little money to do some shopping and this also includes my contacts which I will get reimbursed for and the money it costs to do my taxes.
Overall not bad. =)

It must be hard to budget getting paid only once a month, I like getting paid every two weeks. Once I had a job where we got paid weekly, that was awesome. Good luck with your budget and goals.
Hey there, just stumbled across your blog and look forward to reading more!
Also, I would really love to track my debt reduction on my blog with those little graphs/tickers that you have - where can I get those from?!
