Debt, Spending Frugal and Savings for March (well to recap feb)

This following Debt, spending, frugal, and savings is taken from my sister's blog. I think it's a great idea.

Debt: My only debt is my house. I would like to have it paid off in the 30 yrs. As of right now, I don't want to make it a priority due to me trying to get things fixed in it.

Spending: I want to cut back on going out to dinner. Once a month, if that.

Frugal: I'm making my menus and only buying what's for those.

Savings: give $200/mo to Emergency and House fund. Also, more to my large savings.

Ok Red is last month and Purple is this months:
