Over budget

For the first two weeks of April I am destined to go over budget... sigh !! There were a couple of factors responsible for this though

1. I live alone, and over the past 2 weeks I discovered a fab take out place, and all my meals have been coming from there :(
2. I bought several gifts for my wife.

Anyway what this means is that for the first two weeks of April, the savings accounts get only 50% of what they are supposed to get. My wife and I are also planning for a beach vacation over the memorial day weekend, and thus I expect my savings for both April and May to be substantially lower than what I planned for.

Last but not the least I decided to pay off my car loan by the end of 09. Amount needed 18k. Godspeed !!
