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. After three months, we have begun 10 out of the 13 goals, with 3 fully accomplished!
- Plan a vacation for just the two of us. Save to pay for it up front! - no plans made yet, savings are building
Pay off 100% of student loans!- Save and buy a "new" vehicle - $1,804.21 saved as of March 19, 2013 --> this was said shuffling from Goal #2
- Save 70% of emergency fund - 43.9% as of March 30, 2013
- Get basement and garage ORGANIZED! - garage still organized, basement is being worked on (waiting on that city wide garage sale in May to clean it out!!)
- Floor the attic (more storage) - still haven't thought about this at all, too cold to get up there and do anything
Bret to purchase the firearm of his choice- Organize a Legacy Drawer - About 90% completed! Need to write legacy letters & think of funeral plans --> sad to think about, probably why we are putting it off!
Make wills for each of us- 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
- 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: Unglued
- We have been trying to pray together at least once a day
