I had some financial ins and outs that I managed to balance against each other: CC rewards and low grocery spending due to gift cards on the one hand; NT's passport, my and AS's vacation spending and a much higher than expected electricity bill on the other. AS and I used some personal spending money to make it break even, so no positive or negative effect on the tax bill goal.
However, AS got confirmation of two new jobs, a medium one ($500) and a HUGE one ($7900). We're still where we were on the current deficit, but our future surplus now looks much bigger.
AS freelance jobs net: $5,460
Actual deficit: $5,663.04
Projected deficit w/ future money in: None! On paper we have a projected surplus of $6,694.38
Once we clean up the actual deficit, AS can start planning her dental extraction and implant. She got the final piece of the post-insurance estimates, and the procedure will end up costing us a max of $3034.32.
Update on tax bill goal: AS freelance job (BIG!)
