Month two of tracking my spending. There is certainly some variance from my forecast due to the last minute trip to Texas and some medical expenses plus an unexpected refrigerator repair. But overall, I was able to stick pretty close to the forecast.

Next month will pretty much be a wash as far as my debt payoff journey goes. But November will be full speed ahead again.
I am making calls about getting health insurance. Georgia is a terrible state for health insurance. The options are just terrible. And I still have to make a decision about my life insurance.
What the Future Holds
I’ve already forecasted out through the end of 2025. But with my new income and housing plan, I am beginning to revisit it. Plan for how to be completely debt free next year. And have a substantial emergency fund. I am planning to maintain my current savings plan through the end of the year. Then revisit beginning in January.
