2015 Goals

  1.  Fully fund our Emergency Fund - We are on track to complete this by April 1st
  2. Pay off Line of Credit - See goal 3
  3. Stay out of debt! - I’m sad I even have to put it here but if this is checked off by the end of the year I know for sure we will have formed good habits. I’m actually really nervous about this one
  4. Have $5000 left on the car loan - I know I originally said it would be great to have this loan paid off by the end of 2015 but I’m going to give ourselves a little wiggle room so we aren’t stretching ourselves too thin.
  5. Plan and pay for Yukon vacation - This vacation wouldn’t be until 2016 but we are still currently saving for it and will need to start putting down deposits and such
  6. TFSA balance $10,000TFSA balance is currently $3617.11, I have bi-weekly payments of $200 going into it automatically: so that would leave me at around $8,800. I must snowflake $1200ish to achieve this goal
  7.  Sell $500 worth of items - To help fund one of my other goals 
  8. Try 40 new recipes - I'm a horrible chef. Cooking is not something that comes naturally to me but I really want to get better/more confident. This goal is to really make me step out of my comfort zone and try new things
  9. Stick to $500/month budget for food - Plan, plan, plan. I can do this! 
  10.      Fully maximize work benefits - Go for massages, get new glasses, etc: I'm covered 100% since I am under G's plan and my own at work so I want to use all that I have use for.

  1. These are great goals! I love the idea of new recipes. I just was decluttering our house & found a bunch of electronics to list on ebay. Cleaning the house, and decluttering. Double win!!!

    Good luck, and post when you need support to stay on top of your goals - we will support you. :-)

    1. Thank you so much!

      I've been amazed with all the different items I've found around our house that I completely forgot about. My husband is a bit of a packrat but he's getting better about letting stuff go.

  2. Looks like a good set of goals. Do you do crock pot cooking? I find that very easy and its wonderful to come home to a meal that's completely ready.

  3. Today is a good day for crockpot cooking if the temps in your neck of the province are the same as ours. You have made amazing progress over the past year. Such wonderful awareness of the power of money, and the power YOU have. I am excited to watch your journey over 2015 fellow SKer
