I already know I will be putting an extra $100 toward my mortgage payment again this month. This will be going to my escrow account to make up for a negative balance due to a BIG increase in my property taxes for 2013. The extra $100 will be coming from my 2nd job's income. The remainder of the income from my second job will be used for savings and/or debt repayment. I will also be sharing with you how I officially use my 2013 year end bonus.

I am excited to essentially start over fresh each month with a new budget. I may still have to make changes to it in the future, but I hope to start seeing some of the progress bars move!

On another note: I did some return to lender delcuttering this past weekend. I finally finished a book (affiliate link) that a friend had lent me back in September (I think)... It's embarrassing how long I've had it.
