A day late again but at least I am being consistent.<\/p>\n
Personal- 2.Weight Loss<\/em><\/strong>\u2013\u00a0175#.\u00a0<\/em>Did not gain anything, got on the treadmill a couple of time. Still a fail but not a total lost eitehr<\/p>\n 3. Spiritual<\/strong>\u2013 Spend at least 5 days a week, reading and studying The Bible.\u00a0<\/em>This continues to be a challenge for me. I need to find a time to set for this but so far not happening.<\/p>\n Personal goals are a failure for the\u00a0sixth month straight.\u00a0I do feel much better about my lack of progress this month. I am working to met goals, slow and steady wins the race.<\/p>\n Financial-\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n 1. Set aside money each month in every budget category<\/strong>. Fail. No change in this category. I will admit we have acquire debit this year so now we focus on getting back on an even footing.<\/p>\n 2. Establish and maintain Emergency Fund- <\/strong>Fail. 4. Gas: Spend $300 a month-<\/strong> Goal Met!\u00a0 Actually under budget at $210 for the month. The price of gas remains around $2 a gallon so this has helped our overall expense. I am very anxious to see how we end at the end of the year as far as a monthly average goes.<\/p>\n 5. Pay off all Credit Card debit by December 2016-<\/strong> Fail. This will definitely be a focus and goal for next year.<\/p>\n 6. Money Making Apps- <\/strong> I am adding this for monthly reporting. This is becoming a game to me!\u00a0 We collected $175 in gift cards and purchased another $60 of items that were free including shipping.<\/p>\n Success in three of six areas is going to be considered a success!\u00a0 We hope to keep up the steady stream in December. I will say that most if not all of our shopping is complete so I don’t expect this to be an expensive month at all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A day late again but at least I am being consistent.

\n1. Blogging<\/em><\/strong>\u2013 Post\u00a020 per month<\/em>.\u00a0Fail. But there is some good news, I posted seventeen times in the month of November. Improvement is a good and positive thing.<\/p>\n
\n3. Groceries: Goal is for $550. <\/strong>Goal Met. We spent $460 in the month of November on groceries. We did commit to purchase an entire cow for our freezer in December. I am not sure how to handle this expense. In the past, I have always counted in the month it was purchased. This time I am not sure if I should do that or spread it out over the first six month of the year?\u00a0 Decisions Decisions, Decisions.<\/p>\n
