Well, the discretionary funds made a wide turn left this weekend when we decided to head out for dinner on Friday night because I let my sugar levels go down and I didn't feel like cooking. It was wrong of me and bad of me to do that but life sometimes happens. So $20 later, with gas another $10 we are down to $60. Then I realized as I was going over my bank statement (which I do daily) that my tithing check from church hadn't cleared yet so that's another $50 taking us down to $10 and we are supposed to go out for my best friends dinner on Wednesday night and somehow get her a gift. I know I shouldn't hit the savings but I am this week. A $75 transfer and we are good to go. I've already told my husband that we have to order the cheap things from the menu and drink water Wednesday night. I'm hoping for the stimulus package to come soon (LOL) but really I'm proud of us that we truly are getting through this paying off credit cards and maintaining a pretty good lifestyle in the process. I'm proud of the frugal lifestyle we are leading, I know it sounds weird but it makes me happy to know that through everything we can manage and laugh some too. I do like that part of this experiment. Frugal doesn't mean frumpy, frugal means smart! And since we are masterpeices of God's creation I would say we are smart, because what He makes is good!
God Bless.
