Yay! All I was hoping for was a positive savings.
I put a slow down to building back up the savings. I've now got my eye on paying down my student loan. I haven't completely stopped saving, I have an automatic deposit from my paycheck that goes to Savings #1 and #3, which will have to suffice for now. I usually try to transfer extra to my Savings #2... but now that will go towards Loan Payment and Roth IRA.
Actually good news, I don't know what happened but the Federal Govt... Direct Loans lowered my monthly payment by $30. The interest rate was also lowered, considering that it's a variable rate and I have yet to consolidate my loans. 3.9% interest (from 6.8%)... so I'm taking this opportunity to make bigger payments so that even more will go to principle.
Now I feel pumped up again... let's keep chugging along. Next on the agenda... turning 23 next week. So hopefully August will be good to me! 
July...
