Received $38 bank interest for the month of June.
Redeemed $25 credit card rewards (cash back) from our gas/grocery card.
Redeemed $83 cash back on Citi card.
Redeemed $1 cash back on Visa/dining card.
Other snowflakes:
--$200 (no piano lessons July)
--$300 sale of piccolo
--$ 30 Ting credits (no cell bill this month)
In the end, I added all the snowflakes to savings. Savings got drained a bit for the car purchase and mortgage pre-payments. So I felt all the windfalls were better used to bulk up savings a wee bit.
Savings (From paycheck):
+$200 to investments
+$300 to cash
+$900 to IRAs
But... Took out $2,600 for summer school, medical bills, and wildlife vacation. OF course, after that drained savings further for car purchase/mortgage paydown.
Short-Term Savings (for non-monthly expenses within the year):
+$1,300 to cash
-$60 Medical
-$385 Auto maintenance/repairs
-----------------------------------------------------
Current cash position:
Still have about 8 months of expenses in the bank, so am happy with that. Plus a 9th month in taxable investments.
Upcoming known expenses:
--Medical, medical, medical
--Still have not paid anything for Hawaii yet
