Spending Updates/Black Friday

All I can say, is were done Christmas shopping... (minus SCB's dad, and my sister because I have to return her gift cause the shoes I got her were too big--- ya she tried them on already... and SCB..)...

I know we spent some serious money, but after tightening out belts for a while and then finding out the great dental news (and the fact that the ROTH IRA WILL GET MAXED OUT BY THE END OF THE YEAR), we decided to get some things we were putting off for a while.

We ended up using the $175 from puppy sitting since we will be able to budget in the paycheck we won't get in January into December's budget. We also spent $250 in extra wedding money we had still set aside for a TV (The extra money from the TV and the puppy sitting paid for the Jewelry item from Zales), and with some overtime... everything was paid for in cash, with out christmas fund, and were still on track with our goals.

Most of what we bought were needs (like clothes), some were wants, some were treats, most were gifts, but in the end nothing was left on the credit card.
