AS just received a check containing payment for several smaller jobs she did for my company, totaling $1576.25. I'm now 99% sure we won't need to pull from the line of credit at all to cover a temporary shortfall! There's one other place where we could fall short if AS doesn't receive a payment, but it's from a university, and those have been very reliable direct deposits, so I'd be surprised if it didn't work out.

These expected payments impact the current deficit but were already figured into the future surplus.

I also noticed a line in the budget for AA's April bus pass renewal. Even though her 6th birthday was in early March, we only recently pulled out the bus pass we'd ordered and started using it, so I won't need to renew it in April. This benefits both actual and projected.

AS freelance payment net: $1,024.56
Bus pass budget surplus: $85

Actual deficit: $5,663.04
Projected deficit w/ future money in: None! On paper we have a projected surplus of $1,234.38
