Blogging: Goal: 15 per month This is post number 10. With the computer change at work, I am struggling to keep up with anything in life.
Weight: Goal to exercise 3x a week and to be down to 150 by December 2014. I am still using the weight loss prescription and am continuing to loss a pound a week so I have definitely made progress. Goal Met!
Financial Goals:
1. Pay off credit card debit by June. Our dryer is on it last leg and after some thought and debate, I will be using the no interest for a year options to make this purchase. I am going to modify this goal to read pay no interest on credit card debit. Goal met for this month.
2. Emergency Fund to $2000. Limited progress this month. I am continuing to struggle with this. I do have a plan to have $725 in this account by the end of July.
. 3. Groceries: Spend $600 a month- Total Spent $816.63. This did include the majority of food for Kendall’s birthday party. But ouch, a huge area that I need to get under control in July as well.
4. Gas: Spend $400 a month with any remaining to be move to Auto fund for repairs. Total Spent $470. Looking back over the month, this amount is strictly gas. I am afraid we are doing a lot of travelling. This may need to be adjust because we have been way over for the past several months.
Overall, I was able to meet only 2 of the 6 goals posted here. I knew going into June that this would be a very expensive month but we also had the biggest revenue month ever as well. My plan is to spend some time in July looking at our finances and determining if some of my goals are realistic or do they simply need to be revised? I don’t like doing an update with so little positive things but I also know this might just be the wake up call I need to start looking more closely at budgets and such.
