October in Review

October has not been the heady delight of that first month of managing my money, which is to be expected.

First of all let’s see how I did with my:

October Challenges

  • Track every cent outgoing for the month of October - didn't happen
  • No use of credit cards in October - didn't happen
  • Pay 3 weeks rent each pay in October - DONE!
  • Stash $200 extra each pay in October for living expenses during salary switch – didn't happen
Savings Identified and Actioned

Switched to staff broadband plan = $660 a year saving

Big Wins

No Big Wins this month, but some are not too far away

Little Wins

Hurdles and Dips

Paid over $1000 to get my house in order – literally (and needed to put most of that on credit cards)

  1. Can you have a garage sale? Or a market stall?

  2. Definitely! I live in a unit though, so it's more likely time for ebay!

    I've been wanting to get stuck into selling off the things I no longer want around the house so November is as good a time as any I reckon.
