Spending is Getting OUT OF CONTROL!!!

With all the new work being done on the house, the spending just seems to be non stop.  The credit cards are higher than they’ve ever been probably and I wonder how much we’ll have to tap into the home equity line we’re taking out.  I’m hoping less than 10k, but I’m not so sure anymore.  Granted, we can afford this as we have a lot of money in a CD that matures in October, but I am really concerned with what the numbers are adding up to this month.  And we’re just rolling into the summer!  Since my wife teaches, that means for the most part, only my paycheck will be coming in over the summer.  I really am going to try and spend as little as possible.  No more “extras” at the grocery store.  No more eating out from work.  Gas and essential groceries for me for the most part coming up in June.  We will be going to the Borgata and to the beach in June, but the Borgata room is already paid for and the beach stay is free.  Just what we spend there will be the only issues.  And hopefully I may win a buck or two in AC.  Hopefully I still know how to play poker.

 

I’m tempted to post up the damage once the statement comes on the 27^th.  I think it’s going to be over twice as high as my monthly goal is.  Stop the madness!
