Here's where things stand.
Financial:
-Max out 401K (I get a bonus in January) - So bummed. Was supposed to happen tomorrow. Unfortunately, I made an error in my request to Vanguard, and swapped two numbers. I've fixed it, but this won't happen until February. :-(
-Sell a car - gently nudging my husband on this one, as he's the car guy who will do the actual selling. Gentle nudges continue.
-Shop around for new insurance - dependent on above
-Finalize & budget for house projects/remodel - carving out time for this on Monday, as we have the day off. Okay, did this, and now have a budget in mind. Unfortunately, it's a big one, and would require me to change my FIRE plans. Workable, and totally possible, but we're now in the decision/tradeoff phase. However, this has been a lingering source of angst for months, as I wasn't ready to FIRE until we had the conversation & plan in place.
-Come up with one way to reduce what we need/spend on an ongoing basis. Sometimes these are small. One month I ditched paper napkins & invested in cloth. Other months, they are larger. - going to replace Kleenex with handkerchiefs. I've been sick & have already implemented, but need to get options together for the other family members.
Fitness:
-Do a complete round of 21 Day Fix (the workouts) - completed 18 of 21 days, so right on track
-Run 6 times. Need to get over the final stages of bronchitis before I can do this. - Two runs complete.
-Lose 3 pounds - have lost 2 pounds
-Eat 5 servings a day of fruit & vegetables - averaging 5.5 serving/day so far
Family:
- Have one date night with my husband - date night was last night!
-Have one family night with the kids (likely board games, popcorn, etc) - did movie & popcorn night, using free Redbox code + airpopped popcorn
-Send a family newsletter (at the request of relatives) on travel hacking - done! Also helped two other friends with financial stuff, at their request. My sister will now be saving $100/month between cell phone & cable cuts. She's on a tight budget, so this is huge!
Personal:
-Try to make yogurt - nope, but roasted my first chicken. May push yogurt to February.
-Spend time with a friend - free & fun hike. Combining goal to be more social with frugal goal of spending no money :-)
-Volunteer at least 1x - nope, but may have found an opportunity
-Complete a Dream Bio (stolen from Frugalwoods) - nope
