Over $300 Earned Online

Since my last post about the money we've earned online, we've earned about $360. I wish I could say it was going straight toward debt, but it has been a lean month. We've dipped into our savings for expenses, including purchasing animals and fixing vehicles. The online income is going to the savings account.

Some may argue the logic of keeping a small savings when there are debts to be paid. It may not make sense on paper, perhaps it is just physiological, but it feels better to have a little savings to draw on when times are tight, things are needed or unexpected expenses occur, rather than to fall back on credit credit cards. We've spent too many years trying to pay off debt while using credit cards as our emergency fund. It didn't work! This also helps to train us to live on what we have and save for things we need. Must break the debt cycle!

$113 was earned from Pay Per Post. The rest of the money came from items sold on eBay!. Tim still has a few things listed, and I need to clean out a few closets and get some more things for him to list!

After the savings account gets back to par, we will be able once again apply online earnings to our debt. Until then we will keep plugging away at the debt on the normal budget.
