January 2010 Goals: My Review
Posted on January 31, 2010 in monthly goals
I am very happy to report that I was about $75 under my January budget. :) I’m a little disappointed that I wasn’t able to stay under $250 for my food budget. But looking at the big picture, I’m still satisfied.
- Go skiing 6x. FAIL! As most of you know, ski conditions aren’t exactly prime over here in Vancouver. Just in time for the Olympics, eh? We went skiing in Whistler just once this month. Couldn’t afford to go more than that, and the ski hills on the North Shore were too pathetic to even take the effort to go out. But we did go hiking and snow shoeing a few times.
- Go rock climbing 3x. FAIL! We only went once. Grrr!
- Work out on my Wii 2-3x per week. CHECK! I worked out 25 times this month, only missing 6 days – 5 days while on Vacation, and 1 rest day.
- $600 into Retirement Portfolio. CHECK! I was able to save $785 through RRSPs and TFSA.
- $100 into Emergency Fund. FAIL! I only saved $75. :(
- $50 into Car Fund. CHECK!
- List at least 5 items on eBay. FAIL! I listed 2 things, but they were for BF.

Nice job on your financial goals and working out! I'm sorry the skiing didn't work out, but hopefully February will be better!
Good job on the working out part! I told myself I would do yoga three times a week and epic failed that (I'll try once a week for now and work my way up lol).
I agree about the pathetic-ness of the north shore mountains! So sad! 20% Grass in the middle of winter on the runs is quite pathetic.
