This week is the first paycheck of April and usually that check goes into my checking account for the months bills. Unfortunantly this weeks check was actually a little short because I took last Friday off as an unpaid day out. Because my checking account is running low and I fee like I need to deposit a full check for Aprils bills I'm going to deposit this weeks check, which was for $493.26 and put it into my mortgage account. Next week will be a full 40 hour check so I will put that one into my checking account and may my Discover card bill then.
So the full $493.26 is going towards paying my mortgage bill this month, but I still had $31.04 go into my 401K and I also did my usualy $20 'vacation' transfer. I already mentioned that I deposited my federal tax returns into a new money market getting a higher interest rate, but I also recently got my Massachusetts and Rhode Island return checks. Currently they are folded up in my checkbook until I decide what to do with the money. I think I might stash a little for a splurge sometime this summer and give some to my wife since it was a joint return!
Here is the week 14 wrap up:
$31.04 to my 401K
$20.00 to my vacation fund
which makes the 2013 totals:
$406.38 in my 401K
$280.00 in the vacation fund
$26.90 in the piggy bank
$100.00 in the quarterly loan payment account
$50.00 in my vet bill savings
$259.95 in my money market
$259.94 in my car account
*At the suggestion of a reader (and the inspiration for this blog) I decided to try and spice up the blog by adding some pictures. I'm sure that some weeks the pictures will be more relivent, but if nothing else hopefully they add a little to the weekly stories and break up the text making it easier to read. Please leave a comment here or on the facebook link and let me know what you think about the new format (good or bad!).
