wrote a check for the hubster to cash to deposit into his checking account for spending money.
He got his spending money, gas money and $10 so I can order him some checks for his new account. (To Do - Order Checks)
Giving him the gas money is working Awesome. He said it is no big deal on the amount of gas money he is getting as he is telling his buddies if they want rides they have to pony up money for gas. Funny how before, when he used up all his gas he just asked for more $, now IF he is frugle at the end of the month any extra gas money could be spending money. So Win Win, he is no longer giving his buddies free unlimited rides and I can budget a certain amount for gas money. I was going to give him more this month but when I asked about how much driving he had ahead of him for the month he said the same (went into the speach about telling his friends they would have to contribute gas $), so no reason to give him more if he did not say last month was tight.
Gave Son a check for lunch for the 1st through the 15th. He tends to like to add ala carte items and run out of $, so if I am only paying until the next payday I can keep a better eye on that. And IF the extra spending continues I am going to start looking into ways to send him healthy cold lunchs for less than $1.50 per day. I have done the math before and I always came out spending more per lunch.
Completed the form needed to remove StepDaughter #1 from dental plan. I need to have Hubster sign it tonight so I can fax it tomorrow. The rate is about to spike so we are removing #1 but leaving StepDaughter #2 on for 6 more months as she is in the middle of braces treatment. Removing #1 will save $46 per month; as the cost to insure just #2 is about to be what we were paying for both before.
The last time the hubster was unemployed for a while I hated it because he just sat in front of his computer and the TV all day long. This time it is not so bad, he is getting house stuff done, he is cooking, and since we have no TV he is actually getting alot of stuff done. We will see if that changes once the family room is set back up.
I really like the NO Tv, it is helpful for the entire family. It is such a Time Waster.

We JUST picked up the dental coverage on a temp basis because it had a $1500 braces lifetime coverage and SD#2 was getting braces. We had told Birth Mother that it was going to end one year from start but the $1500 braces max has not been met yet and so we are keeping the daughter with braces on until the dental coverage is no longer available (Sept 2010) or the benefit is maxed out for the year (1,000 per year). Speaking of the yearly max coverage I need to find out if she is close to the max. No point in paying the premium if the dental coverage is maxed out and will not pay any more.
Also if the husbter makes major job changes like he is pondering than the availablity for dental coverage will terminate before that.
