April Monthly Goals

Posted on March 30, 2007 in monthly goals

I’m going to try and be a hardass this month, what with me being so close to being debt free. The only difference this month is I anticipate going out for my friend’s birthday, so I’ll up my $30/month dining out budget to $50. I might not need the $20 breathing room, but at least it’s there!

April 2007 goals:

Pay off the rest of my student loan (!!!). I will achieve this by April 13th. HOORAH!
$1,200 towards my line of credit. I will try to contribute more, if possible.
$100 towards RRSP. I want to up my contributions to $150+ bi-weekly in order to exceed my 2007 goal of $3,000, but won’t be able to do that until I finish paying off my line of credit. So until then, I’ll just contribute my regular $50 bi-weekly.
$200 towards Condo Down Payment Fund.
$200 into Emergency Fund.
Stay completely on budget for the month. This means not one single penny over (except for the dining out budget change). The past few months, I’ve been going over budget in certain categories. $5 here, $10 there, and that adds up to a lot!
Find out whether the client is ready for me to start working on her project. If she has not made up her mind by the end of April, then I will start to take on other projects if they are presented to me.
