What will you do in the next Month - completion date of June 30, 20151. Hit top 10 for bike miles in the Cycling Challenge2. Knock off at least $2,000 in our lines of credit3. Get around to installing the trim in our upstairs bedroom(I'm not calling these goals 'cause I'm a trendsetter and stuff)
I've started to really look at my spending so far this year and I haven't been doing well.1. No clothes/home decor shopping2. Do a test run to work using the new bike share3. Keep all food and alcohol under $350 by meal prepping for upcoming hotel stay and not eating out for more than $10Edit: I can't count to 3.
1)Crack 70% savings rate2)Close 2 big deals at work3)Go on Vacation
1. No refined sugar, aside from the antacids I don't seem to be able to get by without (see #3)2. Keep up the exercises for torn rotator cuff on my own without physical therapy - at least every second day.3. Continue to wean off the prescription antiinflammatories that have done a number on my stomach
Well, I'm already ahead of my year goal of 52 books; i'm on #27; so i'm 6 weeks ahead; but these are the things i will do in June in addition to keeping up my book reading: 1. Get into better physical shape. - success, but not as much as i'd hoped; but it always takes longer to get back in shape than you want. 2. Finish the fnal edits of my second book, have a few hours of work left. - success 3. Get my iphone working as wifi so i can drop the landline. - pushed off, will do this year. 4. Use at least one sick day and one comp day since i worked every weekend in may. - fail, took sick day but comp day never happened even though it was promised. will just have to use sick days as comp days.
Revamping my finances:1. Find a savings account that pays at least 5% and doesn't hold my emergency money hostage.2. Find a credit card with a better interest rate and a nice sign up bonus3. Find a different bank to better suit my goals also with a nice sign up bonus. UPDATE: Completed #2 and #3Found #1 - but haven't signed up yet, but plan to, toward the end of July or mid August.
