Challenges Week 11

March 27th, 2015 at 10:51 pm

Once again, typed up an entry, clicked "Save and Publish" and the damn thing disappeared into thin air! Ugh.

Take 2: the 52 week challenge amounts have been paid into various places (yay). Banking the Difference was not found in bill payments as such, but the difference in the mortgage repayment ($149 as per previous month), so that got sent to mortgage offset account. A bit under $500 sitting there now.

The other Banking the Diff saving turned out to be our credit card interest expense. I treat the interest expense as a bill and prepay the interest I think will be charged ($60 per card). My interest came in at around $55, so $5 saving there. B's card was the big saving with $0 interest charged! Not sure why. We swapped over the card to a low rate in Dec/Jan, and it says on the banking website 3 months interest free for cards opened between Feb & May. Who knows, maybe we got the deal too? I'm counting it as a snowflake and adding to the challenge.

As a result, B's card is doing great. I wanted it to be $3299 by March 31, it is that now (actually a bit under) so no extra repayment required there. My card will still need $29 transferred on Monday to meet my wish of seeing $4999 owing on March 31.

Hoping you all have a lovely weekend!!!

    If you don't want to lose your entries, then you have two options. One - type in the blog entry space, when finished, right click, click "select all", click copy. If it goes into the nethersphere, then all you have to do is paste it right back!

    Option two is type it in a Word Processing program, copy and paste.

    I've gotten to where if I've spent more than five minutes on a post to automatically do option #1. It's saved me MANY times.

    Keep up the fine work!

    I've had the same issue and if I have a longer entry, I write it in a word processing program so I have it if it disappears.
