It’s time to review my weekly budget and bills. I did better this week in that I saved more than I plan. It’s not by much, but I’m still happy.

Here’s what I budgeted:
Paycheck: $283.37

Expenses

Joint: $160
Gasoline: $50
Savings: $20
Contacts: $47
Net Income $6.37

Here’s how I spent it (drum roll please):
Paycheck: $280.65

Expenses
Joint        $160
Gasoline $43.66
Contacts $47.44
Savings $20
Total  $ 271.10
Net Income 9.55

I was able to save some more. Next week’s paycheck should be better as I don’t have to get more contact lens until November.
