Monthly Update - Goals for February
You know, I set goals because I believe it increases my chances of actually getting something done. It didn't work so well in January, but wasn't a complete bomb.
1. I set a goal to save "something" toward the emergency fund. We actually had a big setback this month. Our car window got stuck in the down position so we had to have that fixed. While the car was in the shop the technicians discovered a leak in our fuel line and a more serious crack somewhere else, also related to fuel. This is a super reputable shop and we were so disappointed to have to pay for a such a big repair, but went ahead because it was such a significant safety issue. Anyway, our emergency fund took a big hit but at the end of the month I was able to save a few bucks and we ended up at 21.4% of our savings goal. Boo. I'll be excited when we cross 25% again.
2. I also had a goal of 2 solid weeks of planned and well-executed homeschool. We did great on the planning and the first two weeks actually took about 3 weeks to finish. But the 3rd week we planned got done completely and on schedule. Whoo-hoo!
3. I didn't post 10 days on Project Twentysix. But I posted 5 or 6 days and have several more pictures to write about.
4. I again didn't finish the office organization. There are still two lonely boxes waiting to be sorted through.
Goals for February:
1. Save 2% of our savings goal
2. Post 10 days on Project Twentysix.
3. Get all Christmas decor stored in garage (currently all packed up but sitting in living room).
I've travelled/am traveling 19 of the 28 days this month. My goals are kinda wimpy. =(

That's what the emergency fund is for! If you didn't have it, it would all be on the credit card...
ReplyDeleteAn excellent point, Kracinda. And what I comforted myself with when I felt discouraged. Thanks, Friend.
