On my paycheck last week, my overtime was on it! That was about $350 extra, which gave me enough money to pay off one debt in full. Now I can focus on the others!
I've been working on correcting small behaviors that are hurting me financially. Every day I used to stop at the gas station to get a cup of coffee. (Which I suppose is better than stopping at Starbucks, like I used to!)
$1.09 x 5 (days per week) = $5.45
$5.45 x 4 (weeks per month) = $21.80
I bought a 36-count box of Folger's coffee-in-a-bag for $6.85 and a bottle of peppermint mocha creamer for $1.99, which should last me all month.
$6.85 + $1.99 = $8.84
This is a total monthly savings of $12.96
I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but $12.96 x 12 = 155.52 (provided I stick with it!)
