I know it's not the end of july yet but all our bills are paid and we don't get paid again so can finish up julys budget...so I wanted to save at least $2500 a month towards a home deposit and we did that this month, we also used the CC and paid that off in full (so debt free again)...my goal is to save around $50,000 in next 16 months (including this month) to buy a house...it's a hard ask and probably won't make it but something to work towards...if a goal is to easy to reach then I don't work as hard...it's just how my brain works...so working towards that goal.

Finally got a hold of the IRS in regards to our refund as we paid so much and got like $67 back...it didn't make sense...we had someone help us do it online..someone we have never used and won't again...so after 1.5 hours on the phone we figured out the 2 main problems...they put about the stimulus payments the first 2 we never got...but they actually left off the  federal tax that we paid...so thats why we were getting so much less...so now I have to do an amendment which I will mail in...any extra money we get will probably go to the house account...so lets hope this is the last time we have to deal with this...it took 2 years to get 2019 done, and now 2020 has just been done and needs to be amended...lets hope next years goes much smoother because we will be doing them ourselves

On a positive note hubby is doing much better, and on sat we are having a cake for our daughters birthday...she is also excited to get her 2nd dose of vaccine next week so then she can try for a baby she wanted to do this month but didn't want to risk with the vaccine...which we understand...so here is to us getting vaccinated and hopefully some warmer weather...this cold wet windy weather has been horrible...it has seriously been raining everyday..about every 5-6 days we will get  a non rain day...so we are a little over it...had the coldest day last week since 1989...and I hate the cold

Ok time to go look at next months budget and see where I can save more money
