Big City...Beer Budget

"Being debt free is better than spending feels." This blog will follow the ups and downs of living on a beer budget ($40,000/year) in Ottawa. I am a 20-something girl who came out of 2 degrees with $33,000 in student loans. Through dedication and hard work that was paid off in less than a year and I now own a home. I am not a financial planner or expert, but have developed an interest in my finances and how to make the most of my income. Questions? Email me at bigcitybeerbudget@gmail.com

Feeling great this month!

I'm feeling really great about my finances this month!

Yesterday was pay day, and here's what I was able to funnel towards long-term savings and planned spending:
- Pension - $166.66
- RRSP - $40.00
- Car Maintenance Fund - $40.00
- Travel Fund - $270.00
- Emergency Fund - $75.00
- Extra Mortgage Payment Fund - $72.00

I have my envelopes all set for the week, a stocked freezer, and still just under a 1/2 tank of gas! Tomorrow is Friday and it's a long weekend....can't get any better than that.

How is your week turning out??
