I will be posting an overall update for my goals tomorrow but this is a much nicer way for me to keep up with these goals.<\/p>\n
Monthly Goals: 2. Emergency Fund to $2000.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>No progress this month due to other necessary spending.<\/p>\n . <\/em> 3.<\/strong> Groceries: Spend $600 <\/strong>a month-\u00a0<\/strong> I am glad I did not reduce this amount because we have spent $553.00 which did include all the plants for our square foot garden and lots of fresh veggies and fruits!<\/p>\n 4. Gas: Spend $400 a month with any remaining to be move to Auto fund for repairs. <\/strong> Matt will need to fill up the van so that will leave around $40 for the month.
