The Saved Quarter Challenge Update #49, Earned $607.10

I earned $592.10 this week. Of that, $527.50 came from writing, advertising and virtual assistant work.  The rest, $79.60 came from selling more clutter on eBay and Craigslist; however, I had to return a payment of $28.84 because the buyer said she never received the item, and the post office didn’t scan the tracking label, so I had no way to track it.  That left me with $50.60, which will make its way straight to our debt snowball.  In addition, I had $18.75 in blog expenses to pay, so in total, we will have $508.75 to set aside for next month’s expenses, giving us a total of $1425.90 to set aside for January’s expenses.

The good news is that my husband received the official paperwork that he will start his post-doc on December 16th.  Yeah!  Two months later than we had originally thought, but at least it is starting now.
