Savings, and goals for Sept.

September 1st, 2005 at 03:34 pm

I updated my spreadsheet this morning that tracks our savings. Once the last round of checks clears that I deposited, we'll be back where we were before paying DD's tuition for the year. I showed DH the figures, and I know he's relieved. He's been working hard to earn extra money, and it's paying off. Not counting those other checks, we're already up about $2400 from the beginning of August.

We spent about $13.23/day on food last month. It would be great to get that down a bit. I'll set the goal at an even $13/day for September, or $390 for the month.

Once DD is in school, I will have more time to really focus on DivaTribe, and building up my distance tutoring. That is, if those are things I want to focus on. I'll also have more time to create things - to knit, crochet, bead, etc. I need to figure out what it is I want to do with that time so that it is spent productively (in all ways - financially, mentally, etc.).

The fundraiser is going strong - over $2000 has been raised already!! It's a good way to get a jump on holiday shopping AND know that all of that money is going to the Red Cross.

This is something I'm really trying hard to do also as my time and energy is limited by physical problems. If there are any ways that helps you acheive this goal setting, please post!

Thanks so much for the link to Crafters United! I've been spreading it around to all my friends and coworkers. What a great idea.

Thanks kashi - last I checked the total was over $6000. I contacted my local paper and three local craft stores about it this morning, trying to get the word out.

Gailete - if I have any epiphanies I'll try to write about them here.
