I hear ya!! Last night my battery died in my minivan. I was so afraid it was something major electrical that was killing the battery since it's less than 3 yrs old.
So far, for it being the Toyota dealer, they've been honest & right on the money with their advice.
No way. Tagalongs and Thanks-a-lots are the way to go!![]()

It's great news about your truck repairs being lower.
Sorry to hear the news about your DH's Aunt, loved ones should always come before worrying about the Budget.
You will succeed in your goals and Pay everything Off. You can do this...
As long as you ordered Thin Mints you are forgiven...![]()

I know how to settle this: get both!
Well, I can't stand thin mints, so didn't do those.
Kymm Just had a visualization of you there at work Grinning like the Cheshire CatWicked
I'm hoping it's something simple like that but am not counting on it. We have two professional opinions to bring it back to the Honda place since they did the recall repair, then the liaison person I spoke to today completely denies it being related. Of course! I'm taking it in Friday, we'll see what happens. On a good note, I got paid today and except for mortgage, set aside money for all the rest of the bills this month. DH gets paid Friday so I'll set aside some for the mortgage, the homeowners assoc. dues coming up and make another payment on the Discover card. He gets an extra check this month which will help get us back where I want us to be.
I got Samoas and Tag-Alongs.
After much consideration I have decided to ditch DR's method of prioritizing debts. I've paid off around 5-6 bills, all now in my snowball. Im reworking The Plan to now jump to the highest interest card. Paying the min on it while paying down a much smaller 0% bill is making me sick. Plus its the largest of all monthly payments so paying it off sooner will really add to our snowball.
My goodness you have all been super chatty the last 4 days.It took me part of yesterday and today to catch up.
Congrats to those of you that managed to pay off some debt.![]()
Sorry to those of you that have had unexpected expenses.![]()
It has been a frustrating last few days money wise.Due to the snow days I had in December my paycheck was short four days. I am just barely going to make all of the bills this month. DD3 had to go to the Dr. today for eye infections and an ear infection ... that was $30 I was not expecting.
I haven't gone to pick up her prescription yet but I am really hoping it is not more than $20 (I have pretty decent insurance
) I also forgot that my gym (that I do not even go work out at because I am lazy
) charges an annual fee of $25. That hit my account this past week. *sigh*
On the plus side ... I have a little money in savings that will cover me this month. Not what I wanted to spend the money on but I am so happy I have been saving and it's there.![]()
I have a sewing business (on top of my full time job) and I will get paid tomorrow for a job I am going to finish tonight. That will hopefully make up for my DD's appointment and prescription today.![]()
AND my paycheck was $105 more than I expected
Trying to stay positive![]()
argh... how did I not notice this?! I was just looking at my last pay stub for 2013. They did not take out any federal taxes out of my checks last year! I'll admit though since my work went paperless I barely look at the stubs because I know about how much it should be (I only work 2 days/month so there is usually only one day per pay on there) Now I am sweating tax time... I'm okay with not getting a refund (I'd rather have the money on our pay checks then let the government borrow it) but I don't want to owe!

Is it possible that you didn't make enough on each paycheck for them to take Federal taxes out?
