Revisiting My Budget

by mapgirl on May 26, 2010

I started my new job, and as expected, I am having some difficulties.

Main problem right now is that I have an expense account, and the reimbursement process is off-kilter. I will not have enough cash to cover my expenses from the get-go because of the check reimbursement cycle. I have plenty to cover the first bill, but I won’t get fully reimbursed for 4 days after the bill is due. I guess I can put that money into savings and just hold it in an interest-bearing account for 30 days till the next bill is due. Which is good because…I just bought $2300 worth of plane tickets for the next month, and I might only get half of that by the time that bill is due.

I have a few other drains on my savings because I’m having a will drawn up as a consequence of all this travel, COBRA, and a new dishwasher for my folks. But it’s holding itself together with a little duct tape and a few pieces of bubblegum.
