February, my only 3-paycheck month this year, has begun and already it feels good. If only every month had 3 paychecks...? Or that I made significantly more money?
Anyway, our finances had been eased a little from the numerous times in January we didn't send our kids to the nanny. Those days added up because after our first payday on 2/1 we had a good amount of money left over, something that doesn't happen often. We immediately put it to Summer Savings (up to $700) and our CC debt account (up to $1200). With 5 months left to go before the summer, we've saved 10% of our goal. And with around $10,000 being our year long goal ending on 12/31/08, $1200 is a great first month start.
Our tax return is done for the most part. I've been told to expect around an $8000 refund this year, and I will post when I know for certain and how we will earmark that money. With that post, I'll go into some of the issues surrounding our return this year.
I've also had a chance to put $250 towards each of our Roths, pushing our totals for 2007 up to around $2000 each with two and a half months to go to keep funding.
