May 2010 Monthly Goals
Posted on April 30, 2010 in monthly goals
May is a fresh start. I have a new job and new savings objectives. I’m very happy to be working and able to save again. My budget is just about normal for me. I added in $$$ for Travel (going back to the island to see a concert with my sister and BF and I will be going on a hike), as well as extra into Transportation. I need to fill up on gas every week because of my commute, and we’ll use at least a tank during our hiking trip.
May Goals:
- $600 into Retirement Portfolio (RRSP & TFSA)
- $300 into Future Home Fund (half of the amount would be from BF)
- Make an extra $100
- Read at least 1 book
- Work out 3-4x/week

$150 for rent makes me sick everytime I see it. I pay $1179 for rent.
You need to find a room mate to split that cost with, or a bf to mooch off.

What does your budget look like when you include your savings as a line (or two or more)?
My recent post Camera Suggestions?
It's basically salary minus expenses. My salary this month (including additional $$$ earned) was $3,093.71. Minus my expenses of $1,792.35 … so that means I was able to save roughly $1,300.
The only reason I don't do zero-based budgets is because I clearly show my savings every month through my Networth IQ and sidebars, and because the way my spreadsheets are set up, my savings columns are in another area and I've always just been too lazy to upload 2 graphs to the blog. Ha!
