BACHness - Fugue Day 2

Still tweaking the savings plan.

Trying to see what is realistic for spending money per week and not having the feeling of reaching my financial goals.

Spoke with my sister about my niece's upcoming wedding - we have a date and a place so I came up with a number of what I need to have for that.

I go my hair done -$55.  It is once every three weeks so it really is my necessary monthly splurge and my hair is really healthy right now.

Did not have time to pack lunch so I bought it - $3.79.  First food money of the week and it really did tide me over until I go home.




Week totals - Food - 3.79     / Lottery- Paid $5- Got $2.

BACHness - Fugue - Day 1

Back to basics.

Here I am blogging again...

The last year has been more of a challenge financially because I was paying off massive doctor bills, my car decided it needed new stuff just after Christmas, I treated myself to a conference and my family trip was overseas.

As I look out for the next 12 months, I realized I need to save the equivalent of a month's gross earnings....in cash.

So once again, I remembered that I did well when I had to blog everyday about how much I spent and more importantly how much I saved if I did stuff, made stuff and bartered for what I needed/wanted.

My weekly allowance will be about the same as last year.

I will come up with my plan over the next week.

I am excited for my year's worth of adventures.
