Update on tax bill goal: Lots to report!

April 14th, 2016 at 04:17 am

Let's see if I can remember everything that happened today:

I got a raise! Just 2.5%, but I'll take it. I'm not counting that in my tax bill goal because I don't know the net; I'll note that on Friday.

NT got a small bonus! $135 cash, which he'll deposit tomorrow to help with our tax goal.

I signed the kids up for swim class -- well, tried to. I have to try again tomorrow, because their system was causing problems. But I know it will be $180, so I'll count that as a minus now.

AS found out that her new healthcare had a credit from a previous overpayment, somehow. I don't quite understand, but suffice it to say we're paying $171.86 less than expected this month!

I transferred $3.90 of CC rewards into checking!

AS got a future job! Estimated at $1,170, so we'll net $761.15 after tax and retirement.

So that's:
NT bonus: $135 (applies to both actual and future)
Swim class: -$180 (applies to both)
Healthcare budget surplus: $171.86 (applies to both)
CC reward: $3.90 (applies to both)
AS net payment: $761.15 (applies to future only)

Actual deficit: $8,688.09
Projected deficit w/ future money in: None! On paper we have a projected surplus of $572.67. Of course we've got expenses coming up that will eat into that, but exciting nonetheless!
