My retirement accounts lost three whole dollars this month, despite my contributions. Ugh. Peanut and I just got back from the Midwest where we visited his family and they threw us a shower. It was a lovely and relaxing trip but we spent a lot of money on food.
I can't wait to do the next spending review -- I'll only have one spreadsheet to deal with, instead of two and a half (mine, plus the joint, plus Peanut's, which I don't really have to deal with but we do the accounting together so it does take a bit longer). Next time, it'll all be one spreadsheet! Of course, we'll also have just gone through the headache of combining them, but I'm sure it'll be do-able. Yippee!
