  1. \u00a0I am focusing on reducing our spending during the first few (6) months of 2022 for several reasons. First, I want to keep everything pretty safe until Matt has a permeant new job and we can develop a new budget based on it. Second- we have three trips plan and Haley’s wedding, so I want to be able to enjoy each of these events without count pennies!\u00a0 Third- We have grand plans for some house repairs to be completed so I also want to keep this as the end goal.<\/li>\n
  2. We were able to achieve 2 No Spend days this week!\u00a0 This is two more than the entire month of December.\u00a0 Goal to achieve the same or better next week!<\/li>\n
  3. We spent a total of $11.16 for groceries this week. I decided to go ahead and stock up on 2L drinks while they are on sale. We are still way under our $50 a week budget.<\/li>\n
  4. I have made a couple of sales on Ebay this week and Matt was able to sell floormats and brake pads from our Toyoto van. These are small items but they are adding extra income\/ spending money so everything is helpful.<\/li>\n
  5. It is cold… the temperatures hit 80 last week and have been staying in the high 50’s for weeks. Today the high is 40…YUCKY.\u00a0 \u00a0I really dislike the cold!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
