Re: Monday - QOTD
Hm, I said better spending habits. So far... not so good. I guess our shopping/eating out habits have been better, but we've spent a lot on security stuff since Thursday in addition to the deductible we'll have to pay.
I did say more travel though and I think we figured out how to squeeze in three vacations instead of two, so that's a plus!
Mine were:
Save Money - Doing well, but could be better. I do all our finances, so I went over the budget stuff with JJ, and he now understands how forgetting his lunch and getting subway 10x a month adds up fast. I also have put the kabosh on Starbucks runs and going out to eat without a coupon/groupon/gift certificate. January was our adjusting month, hard, but now we're set in our saving habit and I think it will be easier.
Be more social - Well, I couldn't go to the gtg Saturday night b/c of prior plans, though I wanted to! But I did meet a bunch of DH's athletes on Saturday and successfully made small talk... lol. And I'll be going to book club tonight and have made plans for a few more things, so I think I'm headed in the right direction!
One of mine was to put more effort into my appearance when I go out, even if I was just running to the grocery store. I've done pretty well in that department.
My other one was to work out consistently and make at least somewhat of an effort to eat healthy. I was doing really well with both but with all the travel I've been doing lately that's gone to crap. Hoping to get back into a routine later this week when I get back from NC.
I didn't set any resolutions
We did go on a January spending freeze to re-coup with expensive December... & it helped. We weren't perfect, but we did manage to put $$ back into savings. Wanted to put more but ended up spending $400 on our security system.
My goals for 2011 were to save more money, curb pointless spending and get healthier.
So far the spending thing has been going good. I have been eating better and exercising. Not as much as I would like, but got motivated over the weekend!
HAHAHAHAHA...nope! My main one was to start a blog so that our families and friends who live so far away could keep up with us and see how the pregnancy is going. I am now 25 weeks along and still no blog.
My other big resolution was to start a budget..still haven't done that OR looked at our mint.com since like Dec 1.
I suck at NY Resolutions.
My goal was to stick to a budget and pay off debt. We failed miserably at sticking to a budget but paid what we were suppose to on our credit cards. I am hoping to do better on budgetting this month.
