AS got a $75 check today. It was expected money, so it only counts toward actual, not projected.

AS net payment: $48.75

Actual deficit: $8,639.34
Projected deficit w/ future money in: None! On paper we have a projected surplus of $572.67

NT got his citizenship today! Very exciting. That was already paid for, but he needs his U.S. passport now. I don't remember how much it is for a new one (not a renewal). So that'll be an expense.

Also, AS is gathering quotes for her tooth extraction/implant she'll need at some point. The total so far looks to be $2425, but the second stage needs to be estimated by her dentist office, so that could be a couple thousand more. We'll have to start saving up for this expense, because she really does need it.

On the upside, I found out that AA's yearbook is only going to be $8! That's a relief.

Another bright note: I got the first of the gift cards from the Citi ThankYou bonus. Most of them are for Target with a few for CVS. We'll use them for household expenses and hopefully be under budget for groceries, so we can put any surplus in the grocery budget toward the tax bill.

Speaking of, the checks go out tomorrow! Today I requested a transfer from savings of the $15,331 that's going to help cover them. So far it looks like I won't need to take a LOC advance, but if some of AS's checks are delayed I may have to. I'll closely monitor the situation; I can make the transfer instantaneously so I'll wait until I absolutely have to.
