Things to Note

So now that the nitty-gritty is out of the way (don’t worry, I’ll be making a graphic for that soon so that it’s easier to look at and follow) I’m going to dive deeper into some transactions I did correctly, and some I shouldn’t have made.

The first transaction to note, that I’m sure everyone saw is $68.99 on a video game. This was a frivolous purchase, I will admit. Occasionally those can be fine, we all need a shot of endorphins, but not this early in my financial restructuring process. 1/10 to me on this one.

Second to note is, including interest and insurance (cost depends on balance), I paid $76.76 in fees to my credit card! That is an astronomical amount! Definitely have to focus on getting that down and reducing that unnecessary overhead. 5/10 to me on this one. Working to decrease it, but I need to do it faster.

Third to note is that I spent a total of $62.59 on eating out, coffee, etc. this month. That may seem like a lot but overall it is actually a decrease. a rather large decrease! I used to go and buy coffee every single morning at $1.98 every time, most of the time also getting a bagel with it. Because of this drastic cut, I am giving myself a big old 10/10 on this one. there is still room to improve, but overall I’m trending very much in the right direction!

One final thing to note is that this month my expenses will likely be higher than normal as I’m paying off all of the overdue bills I owed from previous months. As soon as these bills are caught up I’m positive I can continue growing my profit and accomplishing my goal at a faster rate.

I will see you on Friday with a great article about how I track all of these expenses without having 8 tabs open on my browser, so make sure to check back for that!
