AS received a $1975 payment we didn't think she'd get until early June! So we squeaked one more May payment in. She did have to pay a $57.58 fee to get the payment through Paypal. So our future surplus is lowered a bit, but our current deficit is better. But then we got another dental bill, so that lowers future surplus and cuts into the deficit reduction.

AS freelance check net after tax/retirement: $1,283.75
Paypal fee: $57.58
AS dental bill: $650

Actual deficit: $5,903.70
Future surplus: $5,838.76

I'm hoping after the NY trip we can stop spending and knock out some more of the deficit! Most of the UK trip spending money is already saved up so hopefully that won't make too much of a dent. We have a couple of hopefully minor home repairs. Other than that I want to take it easy on spending until we're closer to funding this tax and dental stuff.
