Well I had plans to work on updating my all budget spreadsheets and such this weekend but I got distracted but more pressing issues.  That said, I did do my monthly spending update.  I hit my target of 19% of gross income to date for retirement savings.  However, I don’t know if I’ll be able to sustain that and/or hit my target of 20% for next month.

We’re in the middle of a home improvement project that is costing more than planned (35% over and we’re still not done).  Our pickup may be having some mechanical issues.  Hubby’s birthday is coming up and we’re having a party.  I promised SavvyBro that I’d come visit him (requiring a plane ticket and hotel stay) this summer.  And last but not least,  there’s a fantabulous trip that I’d love to take next August.   It would require a massive outlay of cash so I would need to start saving NOW.  So much for my finances being on auto-pilot..
