Budget for February 16-28 and Student loan update

 Here it is:

$260 utilities
$100 groceries
$100 savings
$750 dental fund
$385 student loan
$34 alarm monitoring
$500 Mother's bday
$190 spending
$100 gas

For the month of February I was able to put $975 towards my student loans! Yay!  I made a $350 payment from my January 31 paycheck.  Later I made a $625 payment from my February 13 paycheck (this includes my budgeted $385 payment plus the leftover from the $500 budgeted for my mother's bday.  My sister and I split the cost of her gift).  So, as of 2/28/15 I will owe $19,792.40 on loan A and $2,771.48 on loan B (these amounts include interest charges through 2/28/15).  Thus, I will owe a grand total of $22,563.8!  I'm so happy I dropped into the $22,000s!  I feel like I am finally seeing progress. Loan B is now paid up through July 16, 2021!

Oh, I finished Gray Mountain by John Grisham- it was a nice easy read and I really enjoyed the book.  That's all I will say because by trade I am a defense attorney and would be the villain in any Grisham book! :)

I may have an update later regarding future budgets, but I will wait to see what happens before I even open that door.
