this wasn't in the plan |but life is still pretty good

I had a pleasant suprise last week when our Discover card bill came. It was the lowest it's been in over two years. We charge most of our purchases to this card (and then pay it off in full each month), so it's fair to say that our spending overall was quite low last month.


But can we do it again?  I feel like we bought what we needed to and didn't make any special extra efforts to not spend as much, so it's possible. But it's also the beginning of outdoor season which means we tend to spend a lot of money getting our backyard and garden in tip top condition. If we do keep up this pace of spending (thus saving the rest), it won't be long until our bank accounts look like they did before we bought our car, and that would be so great!
