Financial Goals – November 2006
I’m taking a different approach for my goals this month. I’m feeling the need to set myself up to succeed and am basically setting goals I’m positive we will reach. Yes, this means it’ll just work out to a little ego stroking and comforting pats on the back come December – but that’s just what I need right now.
Goal: Reduce Credit Card debt by 30%.
This is a pretty lofty goal but I’ve made it a priority for November 2006. We’ll start off the holiday season with a gift to ourselves of more than $5,500 in CC debt reduction.
Goal: Begin funding the daughter’s savings account.
I have been planning to start putting all child support received for the daughter into her online savings account for several months now. Time to get past planning and start acting.
Goal: Transfer all personal bill pay accounts to joint account.
I have several auto-pay bills that come out of my personal account. I need to move those to my joint account asap.
Goal: Set up dentist appointments for all family members.
We have some FSA funds leftover, mostly because of a several month vacation from maintenance medications, which need to be used by December 31. We figure a family trip to the dentist will take care of that for us.
There, four (impressive) goals that I feel are guaranteed success.
