South County Girl: What we spent in May

We had hoped May was going to be a cut and dry month for us... but boy were we wrong! We spent money like no other and if it weren't for the fact that it was a 3 paycheck month for us, we would have gone into the red. With that being said, June for sure is going to be a savings month because it has to-- My Roth IRA got shorted $1200 since we had to spend that check instead of save it...

Our eating out was triple what it normally was because my work house got all junked up and we were too exhausted to cook or just didn't have the time to prep the healthy foods we purchased...
