I have a few goals for this year and I thought I would share them. First I want to get a “new” car. I am hoping this happens pretty soon though, thanks to a nice tax return (fingers crossed). Most likely I will get another Expedition. Yes, I remember that my last one caught on fire. But that doesn’t change the fact that I loved it and they are easy to find at a good price. After that I want to build up our savings account a bit more. My second goal is to lose weight. For real this time! I broke my goals down to help me stay focused.
Save Money (for car, then for savings)
- Do at least 25 ChaCha questions a day
- $50 from each pay into savings
- Any overtime, bonus, or on call pay goes right to the savings
- Stick to our budget exactly
- Only use CASH
Lose Weight/Be Healthy
- Go to the gym every other day
- Cut out the fast food
- Stop drinking soda (occasionally diet)
- Cook more healthy meals at home
My ChaCha goal was 50/ day but I quickly found out how hard that is with school starting again. I have also taken my youngest out of day care for now. I don’t really need it every week and it seems pointless to pay for it. My mom is not working now and offered to watch him on the days I need to observe.
