I found this great segment over at My Pretty Pennies, and decided it is a good way to keep my finances in the forefront of my mind. Hopefully I can try to update every week.
1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on: My Roth 401(k) account. I opted to have a certain percentage of my paycheck deposited directly into the account, however I was not planning on the raise I got last week. "Holy Ssshhhhh-ugar!" was my thought as I glanced at my paycheck stub and realized that twice the amount I had budgeted for was contributed to my account. I'm still not sure if I'll leave it alone, or change it to reflect the original dollar amount I had planned on... I guess since I'm not spending money this year, I don't really need the extra...
2. Today I am thankful: for my job! I know a lot of people out there hate their jobs, but I'm quite pleased with mine. Especially because of things like retirement benefits, and annual raises as well as bi-annual bonuses.
3. Money can’t buy happiness. One free thing I did last week that made me happy was: Had a movie night with my brothers. We made popcorn and watched Tangled. It was so nice to just hang out with my best friends! Plus that movie was HILARIOUS!
4. I will consider this week a success if I: Prepare my projected budget for August. I really need to tweak some numbers so that I stay comfortably within the budget.
5. My favorite cuisine to prepare is : Cereal! Between my mom, my grandma, and BF (an executive chef), I have zero reasons to cook. I do enjoy a nice bowl of cereal every night before bed, and I have to say, I make the best bowl of cereal this side of the Mississippi!
