Back to 40 hour weeks.

I've worked 40 hours each week, these last couple weeks.  And it looks like there is more of them to come.  The extra money helps the budget, without it, money is more tight.  Being debt free, we can save for everything normal we save for and pay the bills, but that won't leave much for building the emergency fund.

July ended up pretty good, we started working on our house again.  I really do hate hanging trim.  I don't mind building something, but I hate the small details it takes to finish.  I have started a diet also, so far I have lost 9 pounds in the last month.  I started exercising almost everyday, and have decided to not be lazy and stay busy.  So working on the house in the evenings helps me stay busy.  I have been on blood pressure medication since January.  The doctor told me that exercise would help.  Since I have a check up with the doctor this month, the exercise and diet might help.

We managed to save $739.01 for our emergency fund in July.  That brings us to a total of 4,246.32.  We are almost halfway there.  We also have around $2,090 saved for a vehicle and $1,800 saved for home improvement.  The Vehicle we don't think we'll buy till next year, but the home improvement we are going to use to get the rest of our carpet.  There is still probably 500 square feet that isn't carpeted.  It's slow saving for 3 things at once, but we'll get there.
