$59.99

That's my found money total right now. I picked up a penny this morning. I need just one more!

I was approved for a BOA Travel credit card that pays $100 (10,000 points) after spending $500 in 90 days. I figure that will be easy, even on a tight budget like mine. I got all the supporting materials in the mail yesterday, but not the card. I'll let another day pass before I worry.

My clothes seem to know I'm retiring. They're giving out. I've thrown away two pairs of black socks this week, and today I'm wearing a pair of khakis that are making their farewell performance. I noticed that there are tiny little holes developing all over -- the kind that indicate the material is wearing out. I have another pair, and if I would just lose some weight, I have two more pairs. I have a pretty nice wardrobe in a smaller size, if only I could get there. That will be a retirement project.

I did have a no-spend day yesterday, and I expect I will be able to finish out the month with no more spending.

    Am I the only one tempted to drop pennies by the Metra for you?

    My black dress pants are showing similar signs ... it fills me with dread because finding black dress pants that work for me is torture (I've tried replacing them twice in the past two years, and neither replacement actually worked.)

    Yes, finding pants that fit is my biggest clothing problem. I've had pretty good luck at Goodwill, though - maybe because they're already shortened?
