Blogging: Goal: 15 per month I am posting this on Thursday and post number 15 is scheduled for Halloween (Friday). This is a GOAL MET!
Weight: Goal to exercise 3x a week and to be down to 175 by December 2014. This is the goal that I wanted to skip this month. I have not lost any weight since August. I know that it is a struggle but grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I have been getting to the Y at least once a week so hopefully soon it will help!
Financial Goals:
1. Pay off all debit by July 2015, except for mortgage. This is still the goal, but I have taken advantage of a free interest period of 6 months to purchase some needed up dates around the house, so in reality we have went backwards on this goal but with all the Christmas shopping done< I hope to document significant progress in the next several months!
2. Emergency Fund to $2000. Added $150 to this so for the first time in a long time GOAL MET!
. 3. Groceries: Spend $600 a month . Goal Met $545. This definitely is not the $300 I had anticipated and hoped for this month however it does include $110 for the Costco membership that I thought had paid and is still under for the month. We are continuing to clean out the stockpile, I actually have an empty shelf. I am not sure where this will end up in November, a goal would be under $300 but I do have 120# of chicken that we will pick up on Saturday so I know that I will be spending some money to get this prepared for the freezer.
4. Gas: Spend $400 a month with any remaining to be move to Auto fund for repairs. Total Spent $453. This does include tags, title and insurance for the truck so that is what set up over the top. In November we will be making a trip to Michigan and anticipate some major changes in our cars but I don’t want to talk about that until it occurs. I have not doubt that I will not met this goal in November!
50% this month. I had really anticipated that October would be a lower spending month for use however it happened to be the opposite. I anticipate November being around the same because of our trip and the holiday. At least I can see progress!
