In less exciting news, I've been plugging along at my savings plan, and am pleased to say that I managed to put just under $1500 into savings this month! that's all I'll save in August, but it's not too shabby, I don't think! I did realize along the way that I also need to be saving up for gifting-season, so I've opened another account for that, as well as deciding to add another $50 to my emergency account every two weeks. That way when my circumstances do change, I'll have slightly less distance to go to reach full funding again. So until I figure out where to get the counter bar-graph graphics, here are my balances (rounded):
Mutual Fund - $3400.00
Emergency Account - $3050.00
Moving Account - $1475.00
Gifting Account - $50.00
Total - $7975.00
Not too bad! The mutual fund will eventually get rolled into an RRSP/TSFA, so I won't be counting that from now on, as it's in the "don't ever touch it, ever" category (I think of it as the tax I pay myself), but I'm pretty happy with it all so far. And my temp job has been extended a bit, so that's great too. All in all, things are going pretty well on most fronts. Just have to work on those others....
