2023 Personal Goals:
We're hosting a Seis de Mayo party next weekend so i've been trying to prep for that. Hoping the weather cooperates. It's been super nice here the last week or so and now next week it's supposed to cool down again. I made 72 cupcakes last weekend for a friend's adoption party. Other than that I don't think I have too much more of a life update. We've been busy since returning from our cruise and i'm sure it's going to continue to ramp up with summer on the way. Hope everyone is doing well and pushing through!
2023 Financial Goals:
- Pay off our Highlander loan (Roughly $19500 at the start of the year) - Just paid $7500 to this ($7000 from money we took out of husband's old retirement account a little while back and $500 regular payment). This brings my balance down to ~$5000. I'm very tempted to just pull this out of savings to get rid of it completely, but I haven't made that decision yet. Gonna try and be patient and just have the rest paid off by the end of the year.
- Increase my contributions to my "other" savings accounts (pets/gifts/CC fees). - I think i've upped these every so slightly since my last update. Still need to work on this, should be a lot more doable once the highlander loan is gone.
2023 Personal Goals:
- Travel more - aiming for a trip 4th of July weekend (undecided on where), going out to Texas at least once, a cruise or a trip out of the country - We've taken our family cruise and while it was fun, i'm definitely not itching to go on another family trip anytime soon lol. I think upcoming we have a trip to Tahoe with a bunch of friends. Got a killer hotel deal so pretty excited about that. After that we have our trip to Texas and then nothing until our October cruise. Trying to figure out what I want to do for our anniversary in August.
Finish replacing the fence that needs to be replaced- This has now been finished and it looks great.- Live life and be happy - I think this is going well so far. I fell off my workouts for awhile with vacation and all, but over the last 2 weeks i've gotten 3-4 workouts in per week. Plus i've been doing a ton of yard work and what not trying to get our backyard cleaned up for the warm weather.
