Another fee!

ARGH!!!!!!

See, my routine is off....so stuff happens.  This is why a routine is important!!!  I forgot to put a check in the checkbook....and it cleared....and I had an overdraft of $2.64!  So ANOTHER $5 fee.....for a $2 overdraft.

Today is day 3 of No-spend (unless you count the overdraft fee).  Tomorrow is payday.  Thank goodness.

However, we are out of coffee.  Hmmm.  We do have some instant.  Not ideal, but I would really like to make it until tomorrow before we spend money.

Cheer me on!!!!

  1. Good luck! I see on the sidebar that you have a $2,000 efund. Can't you keep that money in your checking account so that there is a buffer for these types of mistakes? Savings accounts aren't giving much interest anyway. Okay - now for the cheerleading - you can do one more no-spend day. You can!

    1. We have a savings account attached to the checking account, so if we do overdraft, it comes from there. The bank charges $5 when it happens....better than a $40 bounce check fee!

  2. That stinks on the overdraft. Can you get in the habit of balancing your checkbook at a different time each day?

    1. Our morning routine is getting more streamlined, so I can still do it in the morning (I like to start my day knowing the numbers). We just had to work out the kinks!
