Okay, as stated more payments for the kitchen therefore not that much savings in May …
Total is 8.901,37 Euro, 11.318,63 Euro to go, looks still being on track …

Just added $500 to Vanguard and $500 to Ally. Ally account is my 6 month emergency savings, and it’s almost back up to pre-wedding amount. At that point I will pivot to 100% Vanguard contributions.
ETA: Forgot I added $300 to Vanguard at the very end of May, too.

This wasn’t new money in per se, but we did throw $1000 into Latte’s 529. We don’t have a contribution schedule for it, so we just let the markets being down be the motivation to throw some in.

June: $1,000 on 6/13
Jumped the gun a bit and forgot about my monthly holiday, deposit day! That was yesterday, and after paying down the credit cards, I’m good for $1,000 more somehow. Excellent! Gonna put it in Ally.

No updates. I don’t get paid in June and July and Husband unexpectedly did not get paid in June (teaching half term so we’re* guessing he’ll get the full amount at the end of July even though it started middle of the second-to-last week of June).
*By we I mean me; he doesn’t pay attention and likely has no clue he hasn’t been paid.

Direct action savings, year to date, $19,070? Somehow we saved a ton June and July (June esp) and I’m very confused but okay with it, lol.
ETA oh yeah, June we got a ton of super delayed business cost reimbursements. So it was artificially lower savings the months before that. That makes more sense.

Cross posted from the 22% challenge. I am going to join this one now. YAY!
YTD:
Pre tax income $37,749
Total saved $17,750
47.1%
I got a $15,000 commission check! I also still have enough left in my work “bank” to pay my base salary for the rest of the year, so all sales now will go straight to a commission check at the end of the year. I am hoping for at least another $10,000 but more would certainly be better. It has been a very good sales year, comparing July 21 sales to July 22 sales, I am about 10% over. Last year was my highest sales to date, so there is a chance this year will end up as the highest. I am not counting on it, but also I kind of am, because how great would that be? I just need a few more people to want a new kitchen!

Oh, wait. Nobody screwed up; it’s just his entire paycheck went into the 457b.
So, an update for July:
- April and May contributions from my pay to the things listed above: $2808.75 a month for a total of $5617.5
- His total contributions for the year through July (I got a paystub!)
** Roth 457b: $4652.85 (85% of his gross pay)
** Horrible mandatory state part-timer plan that makes him susceptible to windfall elimination on his social security and has a 0% interest rate paid: $412.52
So that’s $8426.25 + $14,000 + $5617.50 + $4652.85 + $412.52
TOTAL: $33,109.12 of gross pay of ($5,500 + $34,479.5 =) $39,979.5
Obviously, the $14K into IRAs at tax time came out of savings from last year almost entirely; we’ve spent in the neighborhood of $16K this year, and the savings numbers only allow for 6.8K of that from this year’s income.

On track! 
I’ve increased my savings rates in my personal roth and general savings for September, so I think I’ll meet the goal before the end of the year
