May Monthly Goals

Posted on April 27, 2007 in monthly goals

This will be a tough month because my part-time job with the hockey team has ended for the season. Today I’m submitting my application for an usher at the arena, but I doubt it’ll bring in the $250-300/month I was making with the hockey team. Granted, that’s not a lot of money either, but it’s more than the $100-$150 I plan to pull in with the ushering job. I still make a comfortable amount with my full-time job to not really need a part-time job when it comes down to it, but every dollar counts!

May 2007 goals:

Pay off my Line of Credit. I should be able to do this with my May 8th pay cheque. And then (deep breath) I’ll be D.E.B.T F.R.E.E!!!!!!!!!!!! I never thought this day would come.
$100 towards RRSP. I changed my mind, and I’m just going to keep contributing $50 bi-weekly. I talked to my Mom about it, and she said I shouldn’t start contributing more until I have a permanent job. Instead, I should put the money into my Emergency Fund because I can always make a lump sum deposit into my RRSP when I’m doing my taxes next year. That seems logical. It also makes me nervous that she’s right – my job situation is so up in the air right now, and my contract at my current job is up in almost 6 months.
$500 towards Emergency Fund. I will try as hard as I can to contribute more, because I’m pretty sure I’ll need to come up with the money for that dental work I’ve been talking about. And with this $500, that’ll completely wipe out the EF. :( But it needs to get done.
$300 towards Condo Down Payment Fund. Once I’m debt-free, I’m going to pour money into this fund like it’s nobody’s business. But until then, I’m stuck contributing pennies.
Find another part-time job. If for some reason I can’t do the ushering thing, then I’ve got to find another part-time job. I don’t know if I’m allowed to be picky, but I’m going to be anyway. I won’t work in a mall, or in a restaurant … and I don’t want to be stressed at all at the job. I really just want a job that will pay me to hang around. That’s why the ushering job is perfect. :) We will see!
