Or more appropriately, the savings that was to accumulate in accordance with the new budget.
Did the taxes tonight. We owe the feds more than I originally thought. Our state refund is less than I originally thought. The previously manageable difference between the two is now unmanageable. There is a possibility we'll have to do a payment plan, which unfortunately does not preclude us from having to pay interest and fees on what we're not able to come up with by April 15th, AND comes with a $43 fee.
Or maybe we can just scale back some of the spending money (joint and individual) we've budgeted for ourselves and actually have a go at saving it up ourselves. This is my preferred method of going about it, and most likely what I'd do if I were on my own. However, I am not the only person in my relationship - further discussion is necessary.
