Mid-month Check-In for November Goals.
Just like the consistent evaluation of spending helps me stay within budget, I need to check in on my monthly goals in order to meet them.
So far, I’m on track for funding the daughter’s saving account. I’ve already made a deposit of $130 and am planning another similar deposit later this month.
For transferring monthly bill payments, I’ve taken care of the biggest one – the cell phone. I still need to get one more bill moved over.
Dentist appointments have been set for the partner and I. I wasn’t going to make one for myself, but a tooth pain that I’ve been having today encouraged me to make that call. We’ll prolly put the daughter’s appointment off until next year.
Drastic debt reduction hasn’t happened, yet. Payment is scheduled for the last days in November assuming deposits and transfers are made accordingly. I want to increase the planned payment to $6,000 because it sounds so much better than $5,500. The partner isn’t so excited about rounding up for the sake of it — he thinks it is too much work to make it happen. I’m willing to work for it and am going to push myself, and our budget, to make it happen - just for the sake of it.
It isn’t scheduled to happen until the last days of the month, as long as there are no delays in transfers and processing. I’m even working extra hard to see if I can come up with another $500 just to make it an even $6,000 payment. The partner thinks that rounding up for the sake of it isn’t worth the effort needed to make it happen – I’m still gonna try for it anyways.
