FOR DECEMBER
I noticed its a good way to assess every area in my life....
Health
run vs strength calendar--doing horrible this month. The cold got me not wanting to leave!
Personal/fun
playdates--baking cookies with amy's kids this week
game nights--not this month
Zak's homework- He's finally doing stuff in school like sentences and stuff, we need to work on math.
girls nights--Went to Harry Buffalo a couple nights ago, which was nice!
date night--Not this month, can't afford it.
dvd movies--done with that
reading again--Haven't read yet, thats going to be added to my new years resolutions
houseparty-I'm bummed, I can't win :(
make $$ (for wedding fund)
craigslist--Nothing on Zak's vtech thing :(
ebay--nothin...
cans--Gotta cash in our cans....
credit card--my credit card give me 2% cash back. That cash will go to the wedding fund as well. Also, with every purchase I make I round up the dollar and throw that into the money jar.---$47 this month!
expotv--This is just a fun little website that doesn't earn anything towards $$, but little gifts that are a good thing to have, and the points are easy to get.--May 4604pts--still slackin here...I have NO time right now
inbox dollars--I like this because the revenue is pretty high. I have $11 now and i can cash in at $25. I take surveys, search things and read emails. Also this month i'm going to use coupons from there and get $.10 per coupon!--November and 1/2 dec: $25.23
hits4pay-- this is another read email site. It's really easy to get the $$, but it seems like its going to take forever to get to $25--November/December: $12.54
Debt
DEBT IS GONE!!! GO ADAM!!
House
We got all the lights up and xmas stuff up. I also hired my aunt's friend Randi to clean. She did really great!! Gave me time to get other things done! I am going to spend $60/month and have her come clean. It was worth it. We just gotta keep it up.
Finance
What i'm trying to do is combine all my $$ into 2 accounts. One has over $15,000 the other only $2000, but I am making the second one grow to make $15,000 because then I get a 10% increase in interest at the end of the quarter--still doing this.
close discover accts--closed!
budget 1st pay--i'm thinking $1500...
$1000 to charles schwab--I need to keep a good amount in this acct to fund my roth. This month I will fund it
- split $1000 between house fund $265, emergency fund $265, Roth IRA $416, $20 Zak
- This month I couldn't save. Our credit card bill was high. So, I need to catch up a little then pay myself.
close life insurance--I am keeping a policy called a critical illness policy. It's only $15/mo
Change over credit cards- I finally changed everything over.
Refinance- I think we gave up for now...
Career
study calendar--I took my test...ugh...it was hard.
register for ACLS--Passed =)
NRP--renewed =)
CEUs--I got a total of 52!! I got enough for the clinical ladder
Clinical Ladder--I have decided to participate in the clinical ladder. If I get my certification, it will surely help, but next year I will have more points if I join commitees and stuff, which I will. My level, if I get it, is $2000. Now, I may get 3 more points if I get this facilitator job, which will be nice!
Save
Wedding--Smartypig has us covered. We have $5693.77 now.
big savings, now 2 accounts building up one to $15000--working on this
Zak's savings--He needs his savings and his college
retirement--I rolled over my PERS, so I now have a tradiational IRA and a Roth, and a 401k that i'm currently not contributing to.
checking--I will be going through PNC for my main checking. Keeping $25 in first merit, $25 in chase, and $1000 in schwab.
Meals
Freezer cooking--I have been freezing meals, working out well!!
healthier snacks--I am choosing healthy!! Though...I love my candy :)
