Times are feeling a little thin lately, and so will be the updates!
The last several weeks have been way more expensive and social than I am used to. It has been a great summer, of course, with a lot of great food and experiences, but my last paycheck felt a little thin after all was said and done! And this week is a rent week, so I am definitely feeling the crunch on this pay period too!
I have to say though, I am very proud of myself for managing to still stick to my Action Plan no matter what. I took care of my credit card statement charges + minimums this week, and also started the first week of my 52 Week Challenge - I've only $1 so far, but it is a good start! Full disclosure, putting a few bills on my new Amex BCP is helping to get me through until I'm back in black in two weeks. Again I am proud of myself because in the past I would have justified only paying the minimums on my credit cards. I foresee no issues getting to the $1000 spend with the BCP just on regular bills, so that is a plus!
I do have some exciting potential news, but I don't want to reveal too much before it happens, so here is the teaser trailer: I found I might be getting back a few hundies that are owed to me by the state of Maryland! Every state has a site for unclaimed money owed to people by the government, utility companies, etc. I would strongly suggest checking the unclaimed money site for any state you have lived in. You never know!
That is really all I have to share this week!
Have a fun and safe Labor Day weekend!
