Stamped, sealed and sent to Bank of America is another $2,021.27. This will have us caught up on the mortgage through December.
Today was sort of an odd day. I had 4 opportunities to spend money on coffee, breakfast, lumch and snacks. I had the money in my pocket to spend but I really thought twice about it. I had home made coffee and an omelet from home; also had lunch that DH packed for me, and had bunch of fruit to eat as well. I said, "Thanks, but no thanks." to my friends today and it felt good. I saved at least $20 today. I came home and was starting to sort all the dirty laundry when I decided to go through the bathroom drawers. In it was a brand new flat iron that I bought from Costco with every intention of using it daily. To date I've used it 2 times. Also, I purchased TurboTax for $39.99 only to find it for $20.95 if you go through a link Wachovia has. I promptly returned both flat iron and Turbo Tax and got back a cool $99.18. This is going into my mortgage catchup fund. Not too shabby of a day.

wow - i'm so impressed that you're returning things that you haven't used! Way to go!
Jessie, I'm really trying to be realistic and not wasteful. We have a lot of debt because we loved stuff. That and our job loss has really opened our eyes to not only the waste of money we spent on "stuff" but also the amount of clutter it creates.
