How I Spent Money This Week
-
Well, Dan and I bought a car! We went back to Subaru on Saturday to see what cars that actually had in stock and we ended up making a decision that day. After a bunch of haggling, we decided to trade in Dan’s 12-year-old Kia Spectra and drive home a new Subaru Crosstrek! I’m excited to have a car that I can actually drive, though I’m going to have to practice a lot before I feel comfortable driving on my own. We actually paid for the car in cash, so that was a huge purchase for us. It was stressful to write a check that big, but I’m glad we won’t have a car payment!
-
We hired someone to do our taxes this year, and we owed Maryland a large sum of money. I paid the bill through Maryland’s online tax portal. Luckily, we’d saved enough to cover the amount. Plus, we got a Federal refund, so we actually saved too much money for taxes!
-
Dan put a bunch of work travel spending on our joint credit card. Luckily, we’ll get reimbursed by the end of the month. Plus, we’re able to collect the points!
-
The April Money Circle meetup on balancing health and budget was this week! We had a wonderful time with Megan Sanchez of Upswing Health Coaching. Before the event, I bought snacks and wine from Trader Joe’s.
What I’m Writing
I’ve written before about how to save up for emergencies, but this month, I wrote about how to keep your own hands off your emergency fund.
