Lets look at a review from April:

  • -have a successful party for my son! I'm going to order pizza, pop, and have a great time. OK guess that's not a finanical goal, but still :-)----It went GREAT!!!

  • split $1000 between house fund $265, emergency fund $265, Roth IRA that I will be opening 5/08 $450, $20 Zak---Did that and opened it today!

  • make at least $400/pay at lake east (that would be good for the accounts) - i'm working 4 12's plus a class thats 1.5 hours plus a meeting and TB test so i'm guestimating.....$1000.---My Lake East total this month was $1190.40. Yay :-)

  • look at my life insurance plan and home insurance to make sure its what suzie orman says lol i read her book.---I did the life insurance.

  • Look into a Roth IRA---i looked haha

On to may:
  • OPEN an IRA 5/1/09. I will be opening it at charles schwab.
  • Look at home insurance to make sure its right according to Suze Orman
  • split $1000 between house fund $265, emergency fund $265, Roth IRA that I will be opening 5/08 $450, $20 Zak
  • There's going to be a lot of copays this month due to doctors appointments, i'm noticing.
  • Also I have a wedding this month, so i'll be spending money on a gift.
  • Also, i'm going to buy my firepit and bike corider :)
  • Looks like between career days, caring for kids, and just work i'm going to be picking up 63 hours at Lake East, which is good!!
