February 1-15 Budget
$1,447 mortgage--this will be going up to $1,480 due to property tax increases in March
$350 Student Loan
$60 savings
$60 pet plan- I have to cancel this this year-seriously!
$80 groceries
$227 spending
$90- voluntary bar association membership fee
$100 gas
I know it's only February, but I am already disappointed in my student loan payoff amounts. I'm ready to see the numbers start really dropping. I only paid $625 on my student loans in January (A $275 payment from my 12/30/14 paycheck and $350 from my 1/30/15 paycheck). My minimum payment is $202.37. I think I am going to revise my upcoming budgets to put more money towards student loans-it might help motivate me. I still owe approximately $23,200 on my student loans.
As far as my 2015 goals- I did read 2 books in January. I read Sharp Objects by Gilliam Flynn and Beautiful Chaos by Margaret Stohl and Kami Garcia. For February, I have already completed Beautiful Redemption (also by Margaret Stohl and Kami Garcia). I have just started Gray Mountain by John Grisham. Till next time kids!
