With all due respect to my 8th grade teacher who used to chide us for wishing for Friday with a "Don't Wish Your Life Away!"
BOY do I wish February was over!
What a no good month with all it's grey weather and unexpected expenses. I've had enough February, get your butt out of here.
Now I realize I still have an entire March to experience but I find myself thinking ahead to April. April is a financially interesting month because we are going to receive some stock dividends and I haven't decided yet what to do with them. I expect to receive a little over $1000 after taxes and I'd like to divide it up into the following categories
Our Emergency Fund, I have a rule to put something of all money we receive in here.
Our Car Repair Fund, which only has $149 currently and isn't going to handle a Car Repair at all.
Fund to Handle the Unexpected, which is just about at Zero after the no good February took hold.
So, at least I have something positive to think about in March while I wait for April. May is good too, because that is a 3 paycheck month for my husband.
February, be gone!!!!!!
