Eek, can't believe I haven't officially checked in in 2.5 months! I think part of it is this isn't as exciting as when we were knocking out student loans
Soooo the second car isn't officially paid off, but I've got all of the money set aside and am using it to pick up some credit card rewards.
I feel like things have been crazy lately, so we are just chugging along as best as possible. We had a trip to WDW Labor Day weekend that we shortened due to Dorian, and tomorrow night we head down for 5 nights at Universal and Halloween Horror Nights. Using lots of credit card points to keep the costs down. We've also got a weekend back to my hometown for my cousin's wedding next month, which I think I can mostly cover with a credit card benefit. My job has gone off the deep end even more so than usual so I am job hunting. DH is still waiting on a good chunk of commission money. he got a big check this month, which he wasn't expecting. He's pretty sure that they paid out the wrong one; he said the lady submitting it sent in the wrong job, and then resubmitted to correct it but it didn't get fixed in time for when commission checks went out, so we will see what happens at the end of the month/next month. We'll just keep that money in our high interest savings account until we know what's happening
Right now I just feel like we have a lot of balls in the air, hopefully none fall!
Oh, we also added an auto fund for savings goals and then shuffled around our savings percentages. We had an auto fund before, but just put a flat amount into it monthly and it was basically enough for registration fees and basic maintenance throughout the year incl tires. I thought this might be a good time period to add it to our percentage based for now to help beef it up a bit, especially as both cars are paid off.
