My husband and I took time to make goals for ourselves for 2013. We tried to be specific and will hold ourselves to these goals. I will try to come back to them each month or so to reflect on them.
- Plan a vacation for just the two of us. Save to pay for it up front! - no plans made yet
- Pay off at least 75% of student loans! - 45.2% as of January 28, 2013
- Save and buy a "new" vehicle - $2,548.91 saved as of January 28, 2013
- Save 70% of emergency fund - 50.4% as of January 28, 2013 --> down from 54% after a bit of car trouble and much needed repair!
- Get basement and garage ORGANIZED! - garage mostly organized, basement is another story; hoping spring garage sale will clear up lots of room
- Floor the attic (more storage) - haven't thought about this at all, too cold to get up there and do anything
- Bret to purchase the firearm of his choice - took conceal & carry in January 2013
- Organize a Legacy Drawer - not yet
- Make wills for each of us - this is what we need to order
- Build a 72-Hour emergency kit (here and here)
- Be intentional about finding opportunities to give to others
- I have tried to find opportunities for random acts of kindness
- I have just read 7 by Jen Hatmaker and it is an amazing book, very inspiring!
- Plan our meals by the week - so far, so good! We do this on Sunday night for the following week
- Keep communication open and loving between us
- Books to read: The Husband Project and Unglued
