- Pay off scooter September
- Make 2 payments to Adams student loans not yet...
On top of that I want to save for christmas presents, my dads birthday present and pay the monthly bills. I am going to use as many coupons as possible. Whatever our savings is on our grocery bill I will contribute that money into Adam's high interest checking (our hot tub fund). I am also going to try to get $100 or more in Chacha extra money (currently at $64--now $87). I am also going to work as much overtime as I can--only twice so far :(! Incase you are wondering i have a "low interest" account is because my direct deposit and automatic bill payments come out of there. I am workin on getting that changed...opened a joint charles schwab account
So theres the update...next month we will review. Any thoughts are helpful :)

It's really interesting and educational to see how other people handle money. I would automatically have paid for the scooter with the checking account that has $11,000 in it. But then I saw the scooter loan is no interest, so it makes sense to ear interest in the checking account while not paying any on the scooter.
thanks dewey, i like hearing from other people!
