Ok so I had 3 car payments this month since there was 3 paydays, and also 2 cell phone payments, one at the start of April for March's payment and then one at the end of the month for Aprils payment.

In the "other savings" I had put so far an extra $100 for going to ottawa, but I am not going anymore because plans fell through. So instead I am putting that money towards going away on the weekend for my best friends birthday. So this is some extra money for gas and going to the bar etc.

So I still did great this month because of the extra pay! But even though it says I have $489 left over, some of that went towards my credit cards so I really didnt have that much left over. I actally put almost $300 towards credit cards which are almost at $0 now. That still leaves almost $200 not accounted for...I am definately forgetting something but I don't know what..I guess I am not as diligent with recording money spent as I thought I was!
