March Goals

I think I’m back on track mentally to start saving some money and getting myself out of debt and I’m going to set my March goals to try reflecting this a bit more. The biggest challenge for me right now is going to be making sure I question my purchases not with can I afford this but why am I spending this money, do I need this? So without further adieu here are my goals for the month of March:

March Goals

• Pay all my bills on time and get everything caught up
• Start automating my bills (and see if it’s possible to get them to line up to my pays)
• No credit card usage (other than for the wedding)
• Increase my net worth by 5% (to $12,415.32)
• Start an emergency fund (using an online bank)
• Review sources of possible extra income
• Pack a Lunch 3-4 times per week
• Eat breakfast at home 5 times a week
• Start tracking my expenses again
• Ask myself why before every purchase, make sure its for the right reason

The list is slightly different than my usual list but not by too much. I think this set of goals is completely achievable and if I start tracking my spending in detail again I can single out and reduce expenses that are there for wrong reasons. Wish me luck folks.
