So I "found" money

[Ary99]

For about 2 months now I have been off about $700 in our favor after all the bills are paid. I have been doing budget down to the penny, but I see a couple of things that could have happened (Dh got an bonus). I was paranoid for a while that I had forgotten to pay something big for a couple of months like the car, but I think I just forgot about the bonus.

Should I save some, spend some or just dump debt? I really want to do some after xmas shopping, but need to set a limit.

You could do all three - 200 in savings, 300 to debt and 200 to spend, or whatever ratio works for you.

well i think with the christmas after sale- u can really stretch 100-200 dollars with good deals. with that said. i think u *could* put 200 away for savings, 300 for a debt of some sort and then have ur 200 dollars for a mini shopping spree.

That sounds reasonable to me. Yeah! mini shopping spree! I plan to use some to buy xmas gifts for *next* year!
