I have been inspired by Kimandkathess and am joining the savingsfest! I am going to attempt to plunk away $500 in the month of August. This will be put toward an emergency fund.
This will be tough since my DH has been out of work for 6 weeks and we have not rec'd a TDI check yet, but I am going to try my best to generate $500 and I will bring you along for the ride!! :hamster2:
I am starting with an initial $20 put aside from my paycheck on August 1.
8/4/08- I tutor on Mondays and most of this has been going to groceries and spending money, but I have managed to wrangle $30 for the fund... fund total: $50.00

Hi there- sorry it's taken me SOOOO long to get back into the blogging! I started back to school (I'm a teacher) and it all went by the wayside... everything, that is, except my savings! I am very proud to say that I made my $500 goal and I now have nice little emergency fund in the bank. Tutoring was a MAJOR source of income over the summer as well as ebay and craigslist. In all, I was really surprised that I could generate so much in such a short amount of time... but I did, and so can you!!
