Chugging along here. We both got paid today and DH's is the third check this month. Usually that helps us get slightly ahead. With school starting next week, we had a lot of extra expenses so it just caught us up. We also sponsored a meal for the soup kitchen for which DH is on the board, so that was another $250 we don't spend every month. Plus with the timing of our next checks, I had to pay a bunch of Sept. bills with it, but it's all fine. I got the AP reimbursement from DS' last year tests already so that was nice to deposit. I want all four of us to go out to eat tomorrow as a last little "fling" of summer.
One DS is finishing up work this weekend (he's a lifeguard) and the other is now done. I am really proud of them, they worked a lot, managed to do summer sports and pre-fall conditioning, got their summer schoolwork done (or almost, they are still working down to the wire, lol). And both of them put $1200 into savings plus still have some in their checking accounts. We don't make them pay for much on a daily basis but now that they have been earning, we decided to have them pay for their own haircuts and DS17 pays for gas. I told him whether he wants to make DS15 pay for some too when he drives him around, is up to him. He said he bought him Chik Fil A the other day, so they're all even. Lol.
