Between moving and the holidays, I lost track of our spending, etc.
This could be disastrous, but for once we've been doing pretty well. Our spending was actually under control last month (even with purchasing plane tickets and new blinds for the new house).
So, I deposited checks today and realized that we are holding way too much in checking (no interest) and not enough in savings (low interest). So I just remedied that.
I got notice that there will be an estate auction this month, so I'm going to hold off sending extra money to debt until I see what they are selling. We need some chairs - we have a futon and an office chair and that's it. So, we'll see if there is anything suitable that doesn't get out of hand. The best part, if the auction is at the home of the estate, it is within walking distance.

I also do foreclosures so I know the high bid on the part of the mortgage holder before the sale. So far there hasn't been a single property I would want, but there almost was. We almost sold a large farm for $10k (I'm sure the auction would have gone higher) but at the last minute, he brought in the money to reinstate his loan.
