September Goals: My Review

September Goals (end of month review):

• $1,300 towards RRSPs. I contributed exactly $1,300, so now I’m maxed out for 2007. Hoorah! It’s going to be nice not to have to contribute money into this for a while … I should figure out how to calculate how much my 2008 contribution amount is, so I can start saving.

• $1,500 towards RRSP loan. $2,000 towards it. I need to destroy this at a faster pace.
  

• $500 towards Condo Down Payment Fund. I wish I could say this happened. I was only able to contribute $250, but in good news my non-registered mutual funds gained nearly $75 to get to $2,095.

• $100 towards Travel Fund. I contributed $200 towards it. I upped my contributions to $150 bi-weekly, so I will have more than enough by next summer.
  

• $400 towards Emergency Fund. I only contributed $250 because I wanted to put more money towards that RRSP loan.

• $65 dining out budget. I just squeaked under this amount, with a dining out total of $62.66. I could have definitely trimmed this amount, as I will admit that I’ve bought my lunch a few times from that expensive organic market by my work. Granted, it was only $5.50 each time, but it all adds up!
