10 Kilos of Cash: June Update

I’ve been quite busy the last week so this is a little late but all the same the current weight is 8.6 Kilos, a 0.6 Kilo increase so not far off the 0.8 increase last month. I think the lower number can be explained by me not paying with cash so much this month.

I’ve been reading a book called Money Karma which is really good, I’m finding useful because I can relate to the ideas and philosophy even if I can’t with many of the figures. Today I bought an organiser, budgeting book and some other stationary to write down my goals and log and plan a better budget. I’m going back to paying in cash again as I seem to spend less and it means more will go into the money tin as I’ll be given change.

I’m guessing I have less than $1000 left to pay off my car loan now so it should be gone by the end of this month, I really need to go to the bank this week and find out exactly how much is left. I’m hoping I will be saving before September when it will be 1 year out from the start of the GRTV trip, I’m aiming to be saving $1000 a month so I should have $12,000 by the time I leave all going well plus whatever I get for my car and extra from holiday pay owing. So things are looking quite good for now.
