How is March 1/3 of the way over? We haven't received our bonuses, so no progress on that front.
Financial:
-Max DS17's 529 - awaiting bonus
-Max 401ks (standard for both + catch up for DH) - awaiting bonus
-Put aside money for taxes - awaiting bonus
-Save remainder of March income/bonuses for DS18's college expenses - awaiting bonus
-Earn $300 in side hustle - nothing so far. It's my goal to list a bunch of stuff this week
-Monthly pantry/fridge/freezer challenge: use up 2 cans of green beans + 2 cans of coconut milk, one bag of shrimp scampi, corn dogs & fish sticks - no, but I did manage to use up an old bag of cauliflower rice & 1/4 a bag of corn, both of which I found buried in the freezer. I also used up a bag of frozen pureed bananas to make muffins. And, gave away a can of peaches before the expired, tossed some expired food. And, we ate 1/2 a bag of scampi so far. Overall, different items than originally planned, but still good progress.
