My cat has decided I am spending too much time attached to the computer.
She often stares at me like so:
She is judgmental, this cat. She has a PhD in Judgmentalism.
A couple of months ago, I set a few goals:
Get a financial plan in place.
Get some sort of chore management program in place.
Go out once a weekend, and preferably not for just groceries.
So far, I’m doing pretty well. I’m still tinkering with the financial plan, but I started tracking assets and debts, and am glad to say that I’m definitely moving in the right direction. I’ve set a chore management plan, and still tinkering with it as well. As for the going out, I’m rating about 50%.
One of my biggest challenges, financially speaking, is attempting to save for so many things at once with a finite amount of income. When I say I love my car, I mean I LOVE my car. Unfortunately, she’s 12 years old and, like ice cream especially in my house, won’t be around for ever. I want to have an emergency fund of $5000. I want to pay off my house. I want to save for retirement. I’d like to buy something fun once in a while or go on vacation some time before I shake off this mortal coil.
