Speaking of SF...
I forgot to check-in regarding my challenge. Did ANYONE put extra money in their savings or pay extra on CCs instead of spending it??? Or am I just going to hear crickets chirping?

Re: Speaking of SF...
yes and no.
I'm putting the last of any SP profits directly towards credit card. I've reserved $75 for buying Lightroom. I've been wanting it forever for picture editing, and it's regularly $300. This was TOO good of a sale to pass up on something I wanted/needed to buy anyway.
All the money I've made off selling textbooks and work-related books has gone towards CC debt (around $250 so far).
Scott gets his bonus on this paycheck (tomorrow). We're reserving a small chunk of it for him to spend on something fun (he's busted his butt this year, he's earned it), and the rest is going towards CC debt.
So we've spent some, but this week will be a really good week for paying down some CC debt. And maybe some of that spending isn't very MM/SF, but life is about balance.

I'd say you did very well! That's a lot of money towards CCs in a week! A+ for you, you definitely deserve a little splurge
I will give you a C-
And now we're getting grades, LOL.
It's like you're the Warden and the Principal all rolled into one....
Haha, I did get my degree in Elementary Education. It must be the teacher in me
I'd say that is pretty darn good! Just think of all the interest you will save!
We don't carry cc debt, so it is just savings for us. I put $200 more than normal for the month of Feb. in savings plus the largest part of my bonus (80%, 10% splurged and 10% spent on unexpected pet costs- needle biopsy and antibiotics) and all of our tax return.
Last week I was naughty with my spending, but you'll be happy to know the only things I've bought this week were a roll of white thread (because I ran out with 10" left on Kirk's anniversary quilt) Monday, a new pair of black flats for work (mine had a toe poked through them last week, dog meds Tuesday and a Google deal for a local grocery store today (we go weekly anyway, so 50% off is a win).
Stand up for something you believe in.
Thats awesome! You redeemed yourself
Hey wait!
We got about $7k from taxes and that's all going 100% into savings.
Am I redeemed??

Haha!
A) I am envious of your tax return amount.
Right? holy bejeeeezus.
But you might want to look into adjusting your witholdings so that you get most of that in your paychecks instead of a huge lump sum at the end of the year. The government is totes loving your interest free loan to them.
I discovered that Chris and I are still only claiming 1... *twitch*

Up those biiiitches! Bigger paychecks FTW!
Oh I know.... I know..... I don't know much about money, but I do know this much. And of all people, my husband is convinced if we start messing around with our withholdings we'll end up paying the the end. SMH.

I claim 4 because I'm the one who carries our insurance. Guy claims 2. We still got back a good chunk of money.
And that's what I told him!
I printed up new W4s... he can keep claiming 1 all he wants, I'm upping mine fo' sho'

Dude, we have 0 and are married withholding as single, and if I hadn't paid the vast majority of my bonus in taxes we would have owed. Jealous!!!
