*Whew* I feel like we had a good month over all. Our personal expenditure is down a lot, and so is a lot of other categories. Groceries are higher, which I am going to work at over the next few months. I just need to figure out some cheap, healthy meals.
Next month any leftover money from my personal stash will go toward my personal loan.
November: the first good month in a long time, spending-wise!
