Groceries- Budget $975\u00a0 \u00a0We have spent over $10,400 in 2023 which is an average of $866 a month.\u00a0 My goal was $975 a month so YAY!\u00a0 I did manage to stay under budget for 7 of 12 months!\u00a0 I am planning to leave this amount unchanged for 2024 but will hopefully be able to incorporate the purchase of a whole or half side of beef.<\/p>\n
Auto\/ Gas. Goal -= $600 a month. We spent $5740 on gas. Which is an average of $478 a month.\u00a0 We did manage to spend over $600 on gas in 3 of the last 12 months. I can explain this with the fact that we travelled each of those 3 months. I am going to reduce the budget to $500 a month to leave some wiggle room for traveling as well.<\/p>\n
Blogging- 15 post per month. Yet again, I did not meet this goal. I was able to blog 15 times last January and 17 times last May.\u00a0 I am going to leave this goal, as a form of accountability.\u00a0 I do enjoy reviewing blogs but sometime blogging gets pushed to the back burner.<\/p>\n
Exercise- I am struggling both with my health and how to improve it!\u00a0 I am losing a small bit of weight.\u00a0 I ended the year at 220.\u00a0 \u00a0Hopefully I will be under 190 by the end of 2024.<\/p>\n
2023 brought lots of celebrations and also a fair bit of change.\u00a0 I hope to make 2024 less stress, fun and need to enjoy some additional down time for sure!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
