My challenge money is up to $30 now. I found some change in the truck and ate two meatless meals today so $30 it is.
I bought my $20 Target GC today and spent almost all of it! I forgot I had pictures being developed there that I needed to pick up. That was almost $8. And I bought three food items before heading home so that was another $8 spent. So now I have about $4 left on it. I didn't think $20 would be enough but I have to try it and see how it works. Of course, the food items and film could have been purchased with cash but I didn't have any on me. I might take what I spent from other areas and put it back on the card since that's supposed to be personal and not household money.
Anyway, I got paid today and it was a pretty decent check. Well, for retail in this area it was. Then DH and I went to Wal-Mart and spent about $75. Between putting gas in the truck and buying groceries, it seems like holding on to money is getting harder and harder!
Oh well, at least his business seems to be slowly growing and I have a job. We're making it!
Ugh, what a Friday!

If it's keeping personal money separate from household money that might be a wise idea. I often time end up paying for stuff for the household out of my personal money and never getting reimbursed.
