Update

Let's see- on Friday I spent $1.00 of the change I found from the day before on a Coke. Then I used $10 from our regular spending money to get gasoline for the truck. So on Friday, my wife and I spent $11.00.

On Saturday, we attended a niece's birthday party (we had already brought the present a few weeks ago, so that wasn't a problem) but I did give another niece there a dollar for change so she could use the gumball machine.

Earlier on Saturday (4:45 AM to be exact) I got up to help a friend test out a boat on a lake near where we live. Of course, I needed more gas- so I had to get $40 more dollars out of savings to buy it. The lake wasn't far, but we'd already burned up much of the gas from the day before. Gasoline prices blow.

I spent $20 of that on gasoline, and I still have the other $20 in my wallet.

The good news is that my wife and I made $30 this weekend watching my sister's children while they went out for a night on the town. Since she owes me $170 anyway, she just gave me $40. So now she owes me $160 by the end of September.

I also turned in my time sheet for my work, so I should have roughly $120 coming my way soon.

So, our "current" savings stands at $3,130.36, but we have $60 in my wallet. We'll need at least $20 of that to get more gas throughout the week, but hopefuly we'll be able to put the $40 back in when we get paid.
