Shared spending back in the positive! Plus added to both savings

September 19th, 2016 at 09:41 pm

AS got some more money from my company today! Not everything they owe her, and not the most overdue payments, but at least it was a good chunk of what she's got coming. She got $1805, and I was able to put $550 to savings and still get rid of the deficit in our shared spending category. We now have just over $160 (and a big list of things we need and want, so that won't last long).

AS is expecting a few grand more this month, so hopefully it'll come in and we can keep ticking things off our list without going in the hole.

And of course, keep adding to savings! With today's transfer our U.S. savings is up to $2900. I checked the UK account and our rental income had come in. It's a light month probably due to management fees, but I still managed to transfer 125 pounds to savings, bringing our UK account (which is also our emergency fund) up to 1350 pounds ($2025). That's just over 20% of the way to our EF goal of $10K!

It's exciting to be saving again. I forgot how good it feels to be saving up for things vs. playing catchup on unforeseen expenses or overspending. After our U.S. account has had time to accumulate some serious funds, we can start talking and deciding what our next big project or purchase will be.

    After reading all4money's post about asking to be repaid...I wonder if AS might enquire about missing payment for work done. Perhaps the requisition went astray or payment processing failed.

    Oh, she's been asking...and asking and asking. She's even threatened not to take any more work from them until they settle up with her. For a long time the Mpls contact was blaming D.C., but she just emailed yesterday to say that perhaps she missed some emails from D.C. that they were waiting to hear back on before clearing some of the invoices. (Can you tell it's a terrible system?) So hopefully those older ones will get paid soon now that she's figured that out.
