I will pick up some beverages for a house warming party at a friend's house Saturday, but beyond that, spending should be minimal. I'll fill up my tank, for about $30, and catch up on work at home. The groceries for the week have already been purchased.

I also need to go through my gift stash and see what I have already picked up for people for the holidays. Overall, if things go as planned, a cheap weekend. I have Monday off as well, I'm grateful for the day of rest!

My savings is much lower than I am comfortable with, but we have a lot going on right now. We are paying the credit card balance from last month's purchases (before I got my first paycheck), and school expenses that have cropped up: chorus, band, and supplies for my own classroom. Time to reign it all in and just make do with what is left. Once I pay off the credit card bill my extra money will go back to savings. Just in time for Christmas! I'm not going over budget.
