Money Matters

  • Build up our EF again. -- $500 in our EF by 2012.  That means we need to save $42 a month (or about $9 a week)  to have about $500 in 12 months.  I think that's doable.  Easily trackable with a sidebar!
  • Develop a realistic plan with regards to paying down our CC debt/loan debt.-- I want to think more about this still and run numbers.  A good place to start is by not accruing any more debt.  This is my first goal in regards to debt!
  • Build up our Holiday Savings again. -- Up first is saving for our February Weekend Getaway for Husbands Birthday.  Details to follow.  This also calls for a sidebar!
  • Go Back on the Jars -This has begun!  Took the money out yesterday.  The big thing with this is PERSEVERANCE for us.  Even if we fall of the cash bandwagon, I want to get right back on it ASAP.  None of this, "Oh well, we have fallen off...best to forget about it".  Nuh - uh.  We are going to perservere on this one!
