meh..

I'm trying to re-set all my accounts for next month, a mere 4 days away, but i'm finding this to be slightly difficult.

I'm waiting on a lot of things to clear and process (extra auto payments from tuition check... money moving through different accounts...)... so i can double check and make sure the paper math matches the account math and that all my balances are right.... but its proving impossible right now... on paper everything seems to make sense... but my checking account is a bit short right now.... from the $500 zero...... and its supposed to have more in it because i got paid from half.com...... but no... it's short for some reason and i have no idea how...

_____UPDATE____ (found my mistake!!!!!!!! I never deposited my mom's $75 v-day gift into bofa...., but took that money out of bofa..... the money ended up at an ing account instead... because i used part of the 74 for this month's offering.... but the offering money was actually in ING the whole time.... a balance transfer should fix it)

Oh, and i miscalculated... I have an auto appointment on monday because I did drive to the new maint check point on my car. My debt mobil now has 20,000 miles on it. (they kept telling me i needed the 25,000 mile check... again... but i kindly pointed out that my car only had 20,000 miles on it and that they need to update their computer because i don't drive as much as the "average joe") So its gonna cost me 70 bucks... not 210... which is good because i can take the $70 bucks out of this months gas and maint budget. but this also means that over the next few months, i need to store 200 bucks from un-used gas money...

I'm gonna look over the budget to make sure i haven't missed an expenditure....
