DH got a job offer today & found another (better) to apply for. Got State tax refund last week, 2 weeks before expected. And just in the nick of time. God always provides.

I finally paid off all of my CC debt, I am finally paying for this month's expenses with last month's income, I was able to pay an extra $200 on my car note for the second consecutive month, and I have all of the $$ for my May WDW trip (including spending money) in the bank.

My cup runneth over

Cool thread!

My husband's co-workers gave him a diaper pounding when he returned to work after our daughter's birth. We will not have to buy diapers for at least six months! Woo hoo!

I also took advice offered by some budget boarders a few months ago. When we received our hospital bill, I called and asked if I paid in full would they give me a discount. They knocked 20% off the hospital bill!

Our special order door is in, in less than 2 weeks! We were told it would be 4-6 weeks and then another for install. Just waiting for install....

Will make our house for sale look MUCH better with a patio door without duct tape as accents.

Today was a great day for me. I got a call from a district asking if I was available for some contract work ($$$ for me) and also asked if I wanted to interview for a position for next year. I also have another lead on a permanent job for the rest of this year. So today in between the baby's naps I've been working on my applications.

If I get this job, I seriously don't know what I'll do with all that money. We've been living on 1 income for almost 2 years....Yes I know what I'll do, pay off my cc debt, pay off the car and get serious on the student loans.

Please say a prayer for me. Our family really needs this. Oh and I have to find good childcare too. I'll need BIG prayers for that one.

Great news Congrats!!

I have been really down this week so I could use a dose of "counting my blessings". Let's see, I got to IM with DH last night after a very worrisome week. Oh, and he will get paid an extra $1300 next month (tax free), I'd rather have him here, but the pay is my silver lining.

Um, I had to take all 5 kids with me to get a new decal for my van to get on post today and there was NO wait and I actually had all of the paperwork with me that I needed .

My husband just started his job this week after only two weeks of being unemployed! It is a paycut, but after this job search, he is happy to have a job guy and we are happy to be able to pay our bills!

I have resolved after this recent scare that we will be debt free as soon as possible so I am gearing up to find out about that...

My son will start first grade eventually and I will work more which will help!

God does provide, he just took the "lets sober up Microcell to reality" route!

 

[DisneyAprilFool]

Okay, I have one... I thought we had to pay like $2500 up front for our hospital stay for when this little one is born in August- nope! It's $50!!! So that $2500 can STAY in my savings account! YAY!

DS has been nominated to the National Honor Society. He's finished the app and we'll find out by 4/1 if he's accepted. Oh, and as an added bonus, he made the track team.

 

[tinkarooni]

Twenty days till Disney!!!!! WooHoo....

It is paid for in cash and my spending money is burning a hole in my pocket!

Edited to add: I wanted to say Congrats to everybody.....with such good things happening to everyone we'll pretend we don't even notice the recession.

My daughter got the last slot in the preschool I wanted her to get into for next fall! We don't have a lot of choices around here and I missed the boat with my first DS, so I am thrilled.

 

[MomofCKJ]

I paid off our Discover Card today! Granted we still have 4 other cards with balances but it is a start right? It was at $5K a year ago, now ZERO! We should have 2 more paid off in the next 2 months and that will feel even better!

Any good news today?

 

[Irin997]

Back in the middle of Feb I got a promotion and $6k more a year. Today was the first payday with the new big pay raise and my take home pay increased by $152 per pay period! Although, I have $50 going directly out of my paycheck into my high yield savings so my actual "take home" is $100 more, but hey, that's an extra $2600 a year in my pocket and $1300 in my bank account! Woohoo!

 

[JandJ]

It started out as bad news - our A/C broke (we're in Florida and cannot live without A/C) but instead of a whole new unit for $4500 it was the thermostat for less than $200!

Plus she has the chance to earn dual credits her Jr. and Sr. years and graduate with up to 30 college credit hours !!!!!!!! WTG Mia!!!!!!!!!!
