May Monthly Goals April 29, 2008
Posted by gmbmfb in : monthly goals , trackbackMay is going to be a pretty good month for me, I think. There’s not much going on. I’m traveling home for 2 of the 5 weekends for sure. I might go back for a 3rd weekend since BF is leaving around March 23rd to go to Alaska for 3 weeks, and I will probably have work at the arena.
Also, I have a hockey tournament on the May long weekend here in Vancouver, so I’m really excited to see my teammates and play again. I basically missed the entire 2nd half of the season since I moved over here. We are the defending champions of this tournament, and our team is killer this year, so I hope we can pull through again.
Anyway, on with my monthly goals.
May Monthly Goals:
- Make an extra $100. I don’t have anymore PPP opps coming in, so my online income source has sort of dried up until I can get back on the wagon again.
- $200 into Travel Fund. I’ve decided to reduce my contributions from $300, since it looks like I will not be taking my vacation at the end of the summer, like I had planned. If I do decide to go on a smaller vacation, I will have more than enough.
- $400 into Retirement Portfolio.
- $200 into Emergency Fund. It scares me not to have a significant EF in place, especially b/c I’m paying “real world” rent now.
- $200 into Condo Down Payment Fund.
- Successfully complete the May Grocery Challenge. My usual grocery budget is $150 for 1 month, so for May I’m aiming for $125.
- Switch my cell phone over to a local Vancouver number. Or figure out what exactly I’m going to do with my plan.
- Get my dry cleaning done. Seriously. How many weeks have to go by? There’s no place that’s open past 5pm (within walking distance of me), so I’m thinking of bringing it all home with me this coming weekend, and then picking it up the following weekend when I’m back home.
I’m also not sure how much extra my pay cheques are going to be with my raise … so this month will be the month to figure out how much more $ I have to play with (and put into savings).
