My Weekend Redux -- So much for saving the Tax Rebate

    Ok, last night I sat down and added up all my receipts from my lovely weekend visiting family and shopping.

    The Damage: $475.38

    All in one weekend. I haven't done that since... I don't even know when.

    That includes $339 I spent on clothes (not $334 as I said in my last post. I "misremembered" the total. Shoot me.).
    I also bought the Simpsons Season 10 DVD, another DVD for $9.99, some chewing gum, a mall snack for myself and three rugrats, Mother's Day gifts, tank tops from some teenie bopper store, the gas to get to my fam's house (it cost me $55+ to fill up my four-cylinder sedan, dang) and tolls.

    So, that means I've got just $124.62 of my economic stimulus check left. Well, I hope you're happy Pres. Bush. I spent like a nut job. The terrorists didn't win.

    I'm still on track. I just set up my automatic transfer of $600 (what I previously use to pay down my credit cards each month) to my mini-emergency account, which will bring the total back to $1,000.

    From there, I need to lay out my next set of financial goals. Like my blog tagline says -- Getting out debt and into my dreams!
    I got out of debt, now onward to what I truly hope for!

Don't be so hard on yourself. I think this was a nice gift to your self after working hard to pay off the monster CC. It was money well spent and it did not require any CC debt. Congrats on being DEBT FREE!!

"like a nut job" LOL! I hope you had fun spending that money. 'Cause there was no point in spending it if all you were going to do afterwards is feel guilty about it.

yeah, I agree. You deserve to spend a little to celebrate vanquishing the CC debt monster. That stimulus rebate came just in time for that!!
