day 2 - challenge

Today I continued my 30 day challenge to get my finances in order.  I was able to locate all but one of the receipts or billings for what was requested from my FSA administrator.  Tomorrow  I will call the hospital to get the remaining one and fax all to Metavante.  In addition, I found several other bills that I could submit for reimbursement.  I also cancelled my YMCA membership because the monthly fee went up.   I have gotten all of my prescriptions refilled so i will have time to get my insurance transitioned.  I took 2 reusable bags to the grocery with me.. and I used my points to get 30 cents off  a gallon of gas.   So all in all.. pretty good day for my challenge.


  Tomorrow I will call my employer to verify my vision and dental coverage and will complete the application for disability coverage.  I will also cancel my Weight Watchers membership tomorrow.  I went to dinner with my friend tonight and since I wasn't too hungry I just got a bowl of carrots and an iced tea.  A total of $6 including tip.

Part of getting my finances in order I think is also spending the least amount of money I can.   To that end.. I bought some of my cleaning supplies at Big Lots and resisted buying anything I did not need.  I also washed all of my fruits when I got home and put in the fridge so they would not spoil and made my own hummus for about 2.50 for about16 oz.     This will be lunch for the next few days.

I took my wonderful dog Emma on a bike ride with me tonite.  I have a little doggie backpack that I put her in and she just rides along.

  1. love your self-portrait! Sounds like things are coming together with your finances. I had a lovely lab named Emma - she is no longer with us. Your Emma sounds like she has it made! (I'm in the 30 day craft cleanse too) {:-Deb
