May was fast and fun! The Disney trip was fun and a true success!\u00a0 I have 11 days of work before my summer break starts. The kids really only have another week.\u00a0 The garden has started to produce and I am ready for some lazy days but first just got to finish the school year strong!<\/p>\n

Emergency Fund- Goal is $1000- $250. Matt received a 3% raise starting this month and starting in June, I am planning to budget $50 a month for this. I know it is small but at least it is a start!<\/p>\n

Groceries- Goal $820 per month.\u00a0 We spent $693.55 which includes several bulk strawberry purchases. I anticipate this to remain high over the summer as I am restocking the freezer and taking to get easy meals in the freezer for the school year. This past week has been a reminder of how hard it is to prepare meals from scratch. It feels like as soon as I get home from work I have to start working on dinner.\u00a0 This is no fun but a necessary evil for the last days of school as our freezer is really only ingredients at this point.<\/p>\n

Gas- Goal is $500. May total is $540.50. This does include $190 that was spent on our trip to Florida.\u00a0 I know I have several huge expenses coming up in June, tires, tax and tags. So I do expect June to be over budget as well.<\/p>\n

Blogging- For 2025- the goal will be 10 posts per month.\u00a0 Woo HOO This is post number 14 for the month!\u00a0 This is a true win as I went almost 10 days without a post!<\/p>\n

Debit- Goal is 200000 total debit for the end of the year! I am making small steps to make this happen. I am struggling to stick to a cash budget but honestly things might be easier in the summer when we have less things to go and do so that spending is less as well.<\/p>\n

Health\/Exercise-I am actually weigh 191. I have walked 8 miles outside of our Disney trip which was a total of around 20 miles. Hopefully I get to walk in the pool some this Summer as well.<\/p>\n

Reading through the Bible this year- Our church and myself are following \u201cThe Bible Recap\u201d program and I have currently managed to stay on track for 151 days!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
