Hello April

March is over and I did pretty well with my budget. No surplus but if I had a surplus every month I would have to adjust it to put more towards the mortgage anyway. I did go over with my expenses by $38 but I am still expecting a $50 refund check from the cable company to offset it.

Today was payday with an extra $20 from the government, my mortgage payment was due, and my renter paid me. Tomorrow, when the pending mortgage payment shows up on my account I can make an extra mortgage payment. Yea! This was a very good day for my finances. I hope it's a good month.

Thank you, thank you. Paydays are always good days.

How refreshing that must be to receive the rent payments.

Daizy said...

Yes, indeed. And on the first of the month, no excuses! Amazing.

Good renters are priceless. Okay, scratch that. Good renters are worth a nice chunk of change at or near the first of every month, less expenses. ;) And you can sleep easier at night.
