Welcome to the new 1st Monday of the month blog series where I discuss money from the previous month. I'll talk about good purchases, regrettable purchases, how much I was able to pay down in debt (if any) and other money talk. Join me on the ride!
June was a slightly expensive month and I knew it would be so I put money away. I moved in June and spent $100 on that. I also did not own several important things needed for living so I had to purchase those (about $100). My close friend came into town and helped me decorate (she is so good at it. Definitely could be an interior designer). I absolutely love the way she took my decor and needed to buy some things (about $250).
I was also asked to go to Chicago the first weekend in October and the thought of spending money stressed me out. I knew I was going to choose to go, just wasn't yet ready to pay for it. That's when I remembered my Delta SkyMiles! I absolutely love Delta. My favorite airline and I got a huge mileage boost last year when they were running a promotion! I used 27,500 points for a roundtrip ticket to celebrate my not-blood related niece's first birthday and paid only $11.20 in taxes! #travelingwin
Other than moving/living expenses, I didn't purchase anything that was not a necessity.
I'm grateful I was living at a place where I could put away quite a bit of money each month. Otherwise, June would have hurt a bit more than it did.
I'm starting a new money saving method for things like restaurants, books, clothes, yarn, travel, etc and if it works out the way I'm hoping, I'll let you know all about it here!
What was your best purchase in June?
