Deposited $160.00 into savings account today.
The numbers won't really reflect that, however, because we really only saved $40 of the $100 we made from selling the laptop. Since I'd already added $80 to the overall total, I'll fix it by only adding $120.00 to the actual total. Trust me, it makes sense- I've thought about it so much my head hurts.
Which leaves to the following edict regarding online savings blogs:
Rule 1: Never add money to the total you haven't yet squirreled away into a financial institution and/or change jug.
I added the $80 yesterday before we were able to deposit it. Lo and behold, my wife needed some medicine, and we picked up some groceries. A little gasoline this morning before work, and $60 or so was gone. Poof. Vanished. Amazing how that happens.
On the brighter side of things, my boss gave me a LOT of work to do. I have to write an appellate brief, which takes at least 20 hours even if you do minimal work. So there should be some more money coming soon.
Current savings: $18,353.99
