Basically a series of events has made things uncomfortably tight. I should be fine, but having an extra $1,000 or so would make me feel more comfortable.  Here is where I stand:

• $1,830 in cash in bank accounts
• -$1,300 in credit card bills
• -$1,650 in rent due next month

To be fair, I have $2,375 in my bank accounts that aren’t included in the above figures, but it’s not mine. I’ve been trying to not dip into it but it’s obvious I will have to. Income that’s coming in any day now.

• $1,500 paycheck
• $470 FSA reimbursement
• $300 reimbursement #1
• $600 reimbursement #2
• $200 reimbursement #3
• $700 state tax refund
• $260 owed to me from my mom (unexpected)

I should have ~$2,900 cash by the end of next month but with my trip coming up and being out of town, I’m not entirely sure.

I did open up a new credit card with 0% APR for the next 15 months, so that’ll help soften the blow.
