My son's two day trip to Boston with his 8th grade class would've had cost us $60.00 (pretty cheap I thought) I received an automated call from the principal stating that after a careful audit of finances for the 8th grade class, the money was to be returned back to parents on Friday. I decided to put that money in my son's savings account. Needless to say, I was really happy about this.

May was a very expensive month for us and June will be not be any better (high school graduation, Father's Day, Graduation parties for my son, my niece and one of my students and two birthday parties).
