More Money Going Out

February 9th, 2015 at 11:39 pm

The truck repairs that we took care of over the weekend cost us $381. The tires and alignment on my van were $818 on Friday. I'd say the money is flowing out because there are more expenditures.

We made our first $200 deposit toward my daughter's housing contract. Another $200 will be due before May 1.

We had simple maintenance done on one of our garage doors on Friday in preparation for the move. It sounds much quieter now. We are being billed for that, so not sure what that total is yet...maybe $60 for a service call. I'd love it to be less. Smile

Today, we had a roofer stop by to check our roof because we had a leak last June when we had a really bad rain storm. We even had a little mold growing soon after, but a wipe of bleach put a stop to it. The wall is hard, so it doesn't seem to be a major thing. Since we are selling we wanted to get it checked. Turns out some flange was installed upside down on a vent up there, but of course the other three are fine! As a result it creates a well to HOLD water if rains and instead of just running off. He said it is usually only an issue in a heavy storm. And that was a really heavy storm back in June. So he will install the correct part the right way and charge us $125. And he can do it tomorrow! We only just called him this afternoon. And I will use caulk and some paint on hand to clean it all up so it will look like it never happened!

We also got notice that my daughter should take $150 to $200 cash with her on her band trip to Disney World. I'm pretty sure most of this will be her own money, but some of it is to cover meals, so we may fund that portion.

So...we are definitely spending money here! How about you is money flowing out fast for you, or are you actually able to keep some?

    Money is flowing out fast for us, too - lots of unexpected things. I guess we just have to roll with the punches; that's what the EF is for.

    As long as the money's not always flowing out, right? Smile We have a lot of ebb and flow with our funds, too.

    Both for us. Money is flowing out fast due to medical bills, but we are still managing to keep some of it for savings.

    CCF, I wonder why your house inspector missed the flange that was installed upside down on the roof. I suggest you make a note on your cell phone's calendar so that when you get to that it is specifically queried about the next house you plan to buy. If your home is still under warranty, I suggest getting in touch with the builder and request they at least partially mitigate the cost of having the flange replaced.

    Flowing out at a fast rate here too. Two dog annual vet visit, probably around $500, will know this afternoon. Finally got the mortgage to pay our City tax annually, $100 extra to escrow this year. Semi-annual car insurance, short $400 as I added the "hot rod" to the insurance. Winter storage for the "hot rod" is $75 a month. Doubled our monthly retirement contributions, so that is good, but adjustment is taking slow. Our e-fund took a hit with home imimprovements late last year. Gaining traction again, but slow. Frustrating for me.
