Today, I am caught up!! The last two weeks have been some of the busiest I  can remember but finally we are caught up!  I realized however that I had not posted my goals for this year.

I am going to address these a little differently than I have in the past. My financial goals will change month by month, my intent is that I have an overall goal for the year and then I can adjust each month to meet the goals.

Financial Goals–   1.  Pay off lawn mower by March 2014 to avoid interest being charged.  Current status  $801.51 remaining.  Plan to pay $100 in both January and February with remaining $600 to come from expected tax refund.
2. Emergency Fund to $2000.  Current status $0.  Plan to add $100 a month for first 5 months of the year, then $200 remaining 7 months.
3. Groceries: Spend $600 a month
4. Gas: Spend $400 a month with any remaining to be move to Auto fund for repairs.
These are some high goals but I really need to get our finances under control this year and stop living pay check to pay check.  My monthly goals for January I have already post as part of the low spend/No Spend challenge. I don’t anticipate meeting all the goals due to our trip but I do hope to achieve at least 50% of them!

Blogging:  Goal: 15 per month  Currently I am at 50% for 2013. 

Weight: Goal to exercise 3x a week and to be down to 150 by December 2014.  Currently I am nowhere near this goal. To met I need to lose 6# a month. I am going to focus of drinking water and getting the exercise in.  

So there are my objectives in writing.  Do you have any goals or by this 11th day of January have they already changed?
