Pay freezes, cut hours, and sickness, oh my! Left the house, car, personal alone this quarter. Cash went up a bit, but will now be hammered due to upcoming vet surgery for dog and dental costs for child. Figuring to get hit with a few thousand when it's all said and done. Retirement went up a bit, so that's helpful. Paying off the loan slower than hoped for mainly because of the uncertainty of both of our paychecks and attempts to build a bigger cash cushion. Tuition is going up for the next school year, and I've agreed to a dollar amount for my one childs fifth year. Lots of plans put on hold due to the third year pay freeze and cut in hours. Turning out to be a very frustrating year so far. |
