April Monthly Goals
Posted on March 27, 2008 in monthly goals
I have been so busy today at work. Literally, non-stop. It’s out of control, and I can’t wait until J and I leave tomorrow afternoon for Calgary. :)
Anyway, I decided to post my April Goals right now, since I probably won’t get a chance to update my blog on the weekend.
April 2008 Monthly Goals:
- $200 travel costs – which includes everything from transportation to entertainment.
- Make an extra $200 – I have 1, potentially 2 shifts at the arena that I can for sure make. Other than that, I could work anywhere from 4-8 more shifts, depending on what happens with the part-time job, and if I can schedule it to fit in with the FT job here in Vancouver.
- $200 into Travel Fund. I need to fund this fund ASAP.
- $150 into Emergency Fund.
- $250 into Condo Down Payment Fund. I wish I were a millionaire … no. A billionaire.
- $350 into RRSP Portfolio.
- $150 grocery budget. I did it in March, so I know I can do it again. Some PF bloggers I know spend less than $100 on groceries per month … and I thought I was doing well!!! I have no idea how to do that … I would assume I couldn’t buy organic produce anymore.
- Successfully complete the April Budget Challenge. I hope to only spend $50 dining out for all of April. This is going to be SUPER DUPER hard if I’m traveling home 3 of 4 weekends.
- Make firm plans to celebrate my sister’s birthday. I’m really excited! My sister is going to come over and we’re going to spend a day getting pampered at a spa downtown. I’m also going to bake her a strawberry-rhubarb pie and probably go out for dinner.
- Create a budget for my proposed vacation in September, and really be practical with my time and my money. Usually on road trips, I just like to drive and see where I end up … but this time, I’m going to have to be careful with my time. I want to price out airfare, rental cars, realistic travel times, and which cities I plan on overnighting in. An ambitious plan has me driving all the way down the coast to Key West … we shall see though. :)
Tomorrow I get paid, so I’ll recap my March Monthly Goals and update my Networth IQ then.
