June Monthly Goals
Posted on May 25, 2007 in monthly goals
Can you believe it’s already June? This month will be a lot better for me financially than May was, mostly because I won’t be spending a ridiculous amount of money on clothing. Although, I do have a trip to Seattle planned at the end of June.
June 2007 goals:
- Don’t go into debt. This goal is self-explanatory. I use my credit cards to pay for everything so I can get the rewards/cash back … I just have to make sure I keep tabs on what I’m spending, so I don’t go over budget.
- $100 towards RRSP.
- $500 towards Emergency Fund. Since my EF is going to be wiped out thanks to my dental surgery on June 5th, I’ll have to start all over again. It’s kinda depressing since it’s taken me nearly a year to get to $1,000 … but that’s what an EF is for, right? Emergencies. And if I didn’t have the EF, I’d have to put the surgery on my Visa.
- $500 towards Condo Down Payment Fund. Sometimes I just wish my parents would hand me a huge cheque for a down payment, but they’re definitely not those kinds of parents. So many of my friends have gotten gifts of money from their parents or a rich relative to fund their down payment. Unfortunately, I have to save up the old fashioned way, and I’m okay with that. And when I ran out of money I had to take on student loans!
- $300 – $350 budget for my trip to Seattle. Depending on what I do, it could extend to be a 3 night/4 day trip for me because I was thinking of going down for 2 days by myself, and then my friend would drive down and meet me since she isn’t able to get the time off work. Of course I’d stay at the hostel while I’m there by myself (that’s what I usually do when I take solo trips to Seattle) … and maybe switch to a B&B when my friend comes down. I’m still trying to convince the BF that he should come down as well, but he definitely would not stay in a hostel, so we’ll see!
