Crazy how fast summer is going! Feels like I just got out of school a few weeks ago and now I’m 29 days away from heading to Italy for an entire semester. Still have lots to do – and buy! Let’s see how July hit my wallet:
The Detail$:
Checking (-1,057) – A decrease! Makes me a sad panda (South Park reference). I bought a digital camera in June on my credit card that I paid in July. Make sense? Also bought gas and ate out with friends. A lot.
Savings (-$946) – Made another student loan payment. Don’t recall having to spend anything in my savings this month.
Roth IRA (-$35) – Nothing added, but a bit lost. That’s the market though.
ESPP ($5) – I’ve stopped buying my company’s stock, so all activity in this account is from the market swinging up and down. I expect this to increase as back to school pushes sales.
Treasury Direct (+$1) – Only have another 5,000 years before these mature.
Stafford loan (+$11) – All interest I paid for the privilege of the government letting me borrow money that they also borrowed. 
Parent PLUS (-$1,022) – Made a payment. NBD. There’s some funny business going on with my payment actually showing up, but that’s another post. All I know is I definitely sent in $1,000.
Credit cards ($40) – Made another payment on my flight to Italy. Will knock this out at some point when my financial aid is disbursed and my no interest period is almost up.
My net worth for July 2011 went down $831. Damn life, U expensive! August should be better. I know I’ve made at least $400 and I’ll still be getting another paycheck or 2 from work before I live.
Later!
