With one thing and another I knew I was in for an expensive week but not that expensive.
All my large bills were due soon so I paid the Car Registration, Rates, and Water Utilities totalling $985.
Then getting a new mobile, accessories, prepaid card and then a new laptop and accessories totalling $1319
Then one of the cats had to go back to the vet for a check because a fur and food was compacted around a tooth so I found out later costing $45 with return visit & senior discount.
So far I have spent $2349 without dining out with family and normal cost of living. I am only two week in this month budget. It’s lucky that I budgeted for my bills each pension, and have a large emergency fund of $5000. So I will be saving to return cost of the new mobile and laptop so $1300 needs put back into emergency fund.
Now for a new washing machine this should be the next problem area as its 27 years old so I will be buying a new one when it gives up working.
What an expensive week!
