Financial Update 5/28/06
1) $ Spent--0 stayed home and didn't spend any money or use any gas.
2) Expenses Cut--$116.90/year Cancelled webhosting for two websites that I didn't have time for. They have sat with no activity for over a year so at least this way I get to save the money and not feel bad for not getting around to updating them.
3) $ Earned--0 however put two leather jackets on EBay...now Im hoping for the best.
4) $ in Savings--$2.50 pitiful I know but I want the bulk of my excess money to go towards paying of the credit cards.
5) $ for Credit Card Payoff--$5 also pitiful but at least it's something.
6) Giving--posted (literally) a ton of landscaping rocks on local Freecycle web and had a half dozen email already. They should be gone in a few days so I can re-landscape that part of my yard.
7) Increase Financial Awareness--read "Dollar Stretch" site for some good ideas, put the book "I'm Not Buying It--My Year Without Shopping" on hold at the local library (I'm number 36 in line...I guess we all want to save money by not buying the book!). Also found a new source of financial info at http://finance.yahoo.com with some interesting articles.
~~whew! whatta day~~

that's a good start, its not the amount you have, but the fact that you have started a 'never touch this money account'
I have a long term savings account that I am using soley for two purposes, a new car (someday when my current 80's model car carks it) and a house deposit. Without a fulltime, stable job, buying a house is a long way off, but at least I am thinking about it. My current long term savings account balance stands at just over $10.
