"Are you alive?"

*lol*


Today I received an email from Blair over at Becoming Debt Free asking if I was alive! I had to laugh, because yes, it does seem as if I have fallen off the face of the earth lately!


January has been a difficult month for us financially. My husband's car was due for inspection and with everything that needed to be done with his car, we had to pay $800 to get it fixed. Well, technically it's not even fixed yet. We paid for the parts already but we're waiting for them to come in and then we'll pay for the labor and inspection fees when it gets done, which is hopefully tomorrow.


We could have used the emergency fund to pay for it but I'm not considering this an emergency. We knew the car would need an inspection and probably need something done. Even after all the bills for this month were paid and the car, we still have a little bit left over. But not much, not much at all!


Even after my husband gets paid at the end of the month, we're still going to be short for a few weeks since all of our bills are due the first week of the month. I just haven't felt like updating much since I was a little down in the dumps due to not having any money and not having much going towards debt.


I have managed to make a little bit this month with Cash Crate and some advertising. I will be updating my earnings after this :)
