Pay off student loan - 27.4% (Up .6%)
Roth 2013 - 27.6% (Up 18.8%)
Pay back savings - plumbing - 24.1% (Up 11.6%)
Windows - 7.9%
On the surface it looks like I'm humming along sort of as planned. In reality, my tax refund didn't go at all as planned...lol. By the the time I covered the electrician, the chest freezer, the boarding bill that will be coming for vacation, and an unexpected vet bill, there's really not much left for windows. I also rounded out my Roth for 2012. But that's okay. No regrets. For the record, chocolate poisoning for a small dog can run in the neighborhood of $1000 so put your chocolate far out of reach :) If you're anything like me, you know your dog's abilities but occasionally you get a little um, complacent.
I need to sit down and consider my spending. In the past I've been able to rather easily manage to put $350+ into my Roth each month. I haven't been able to do that since December. I know I covered some big bills but they were expected and I should have been able to plan for those. And that was in January or something. So I probably have a money leak I'm ignoring.. Plus I have another big once-a-year bill coming in May that I should be planning for and I'm not.
Happy Easter, happy spring!

Monthly Update
Pay off student loan - 26.8% (Up .3%)
Roth 2013 - 8.8% (Up 4.4%)
Pay back savings - plumbing - 24.1% (Up 11.6%)
Windows - 7.9%
Woohoo! Finally a little bit of progress on my savings and the windows. Little bit on the Roth too. My state tax refund came in handy for starting the windows fund. My federal refund is due in this week. I was hoping to put all of that toward windows too but I think I'll take some to do a little electrical work and then a little more to get a chest freezer for the basement. Also vacation plans are shaping up and to be honest I'm a little afraid to see the boarding bill for 3 furballs. Last time I went on vacation there were only two, one of which stayed with relatives. So in summary, ta ta for now, windows..lol. Oh well, sooner or later.
But really, I was looking at the big picture this morning and I'm happy overall with where I'm at. So if the windows take longer than I wanted them to, not a big deal. Life's good.
