  • We have to replace DH's car this year.  It's been on its last legs for quite awhile now and there's no way he's driving a baby around in that piece of crap.

  • Ours always goes into the vacation fund.  This summer we're going on a Mediterranean Cruise!
  • As always we pay off a majority of if not all of our credit cards and set a chunk aside for vacation. The renovation of the attic has had a big impact on our lowes card this year LOL

  • Add it to the house down payment fund!
  • DH wants a new car (he's dreaming) so he thinks we should put it towards that. I'd like new living room furniture. But it really should go into savings, and since I manage the finances, it will go into savings :)

  • We are going to Montana and Yellowstone National Park with the kids this spring/summer. 

    DH is going on a hunting trip since I am going to Europe on a cruise.

    Some bills and new furniture.  

    Savings.   

    Plus a new roof and coop for the birds since I want ducks and chickens for the kids.

  • DH always wants to put it towards Savings (for a rainy day).  I always want to use it towards Vacation. Somehow whenever we are on vacation he ends up thanking me for planning it. :)

  • I've seen your creepy neighbor picture. I fully support your fence!
  • We escrow our own taxes so a chunk goes towards that. Usually we use the rest for a house project. This year we will be leveling our back yard, seeding, landscaping and some brick work. We will put a little bit away for our beach vacation this summer!

  • Ours goes into savings but I am hoping we can either redo our master bathroom this year but if not it will go in the make our unfinished basement into a family room ( in a few years)

  • I would like to try and get our half bath done this spring.  I absolutely hate it and want to rip everything out, put in new tile floor to ceiling and a new toilet & pedestal sink.  It's a very small room so I don't think it should cost much.  Hopefully our return will cover it or maybe I'll actually get a bonus at work this year (crossing fingers).
  • Landscaping and general improvement of the exterior of our house. Possibly a fence if there is enough money.

    Next year we want to renovate at least 1 of our bathrooms.

  • We're paying off our credit card since we just charged a new washer/dryer on it. Leaving some cash out for the 3 weddings we have to go to in March/April & another one in September. D is giving me some spending money so i can get my hair done etc. Saving a big chunk and hopefully trying to get a vacation in this year <3
