My attempt at staying accountable. I mean, if people can put their weight loss journeys on their blogs then why not my financial goals?
My goals are to:
- Get out of overdraft ($900) - CP paid me so this one is done! – Oct. 12, 2010
save for emergencies Maternity Leave ($2000) – Update-Will start to save $150/pay from Oct – Apr 2011 - $600 Saved so far!- pay my taxes (*grumble* *grumble*stupid mat-leave pay from EI *grumble**grumble*not taking out enough taxes *grumble* *grumble* *fist shake*)($1800) – Was paying $5 every 2 weeks, upped that to $10 so they don’t call me wanting their money like they did with hubby. Hoping next year’s tax return will yield some money back that will deduct from the total I owe them.
- pay down the balances on my other credit cards ($many, many $$$) **Update** 4 down – 1 to go!
- put money into the preshus’ RESP & Savings ($140/month) Ongoing! +$1116 saved so far!
- put money into my RRSP ($??) – Um…
- Finish paying off my bank loan (only 4 payments left!) - Refinanced the loan to pay off 4 credit cards, now paying less each month for a new 5 year loan.
- win the lottery ~~ oh, wait, that’s not a goal…is it? (but I am buying tickets on the regular these days! ask, believe, receive!)
