Hi everyone! This gauntlet is good for me as it made me go back and look at my credit card spending so far this year. To be fair, it's one of those cash back cards, so I put everything on it (groceries, gas, internet, netflix, phone, travel & other daily purchases) and the card company pays me ($15-40+ per month) to use it. I pay it off in full every month without fail, but I can and should buy less!
So, how much have I been spending? This year my monthly bill has ranged from $1150-$3000. June's bill was ~$1300. over $500 of that was "unexpected" vet bills, but obviously there is something like that every month. That means ~$800 was gas, groceries, clothes, entertainment, etc.
$400 will be cutting that in half.
Yesterday I spent $26.80 filling my gas tank and $1.25 on M&M's from a vending machine (Whoops!). If every day's expenditures match yesterday, my bill will be $869.55 this month. So, that means I can't spend ANYTHING today!
How are you doing one day in?
