Still rolling over the CCs

We had to roll over ~$5,000 on our credit cards again this month as cash flow is still tight. The finance charge was $36. Bummer.

It is amazing how things can creep up and all of a sudden you are behind the eight ball. I really don't like doing it but at least there's a light at the end of the tunnel. May was a tough cash flow month for my business. Fortunately the end of June will see enough cash coming in to wipe out the debt and put away a few dollars towards my IRA.

Then I'll have to finance some capital asset purchases for my project, but that's a separate analysis.

In other news, our retirement accounts brushed up against the $100,000 mark the other day. So we're doing all right there.

Blast!

For the first time in several years, we've needed to roll over a balance on our credit cards. The variable nature of my income coupled with our unplanned tax issues resulted in a cash crunch. June and July should be much better from a cash flow perspective. Wifey continues to put 700 per month into her 403b, $100 goes into Vanguard Wellington, and $50 in the Duke DRIP.

I will need to take on some extra work to make sure I can fund my IRA later this year while still developing our project.

The food and gas inflation is definitely hitting us - probably $150-200 more per month over a year ago.
