And one step back. All that I have gained in the last month and a half is melting away with the fall of the market. As of today I'm back to April 1st. Although, with my son going to Washington DC on a trip and the cash I did spent on that, and his gratuation expense so far(all unplanned for expenses), I guess I'm doing pretty good. Lesson learned here is that both things I knew were coming up and I did not have a saving plan for those. I have since made a budget and have an account for such things coming up in my future. Still, it is a bit of a disappointment and discouragement to see no headway. My first knee jerk reaction is to say "this doesn't work, all my frugality is all for nothing." A lot of self talk here going on, to hang in there. :-)
Two steps forward
