December Monthly Goals 2019

Monthly goals for December, here we go!  Last month I diligently tracked our eating out and our grocery spending.  You can see what happened here 

My goal outline is basically the same with a few changes.  Keep an eye on grocery shopping, investigate using cash envelopes to improve my budget and plan for those once in awhile expenses.  

Then, there is a family reunion scheduled for July 25th in Wisconsin.  Time to start planning for travel expenses.  

Financial:

• Keep dining out to $150 
• Track grocery spending this month and keep it closer to $550 
• Continue to build my eBay business (Here are my 2019 goals)
• Rebuild  short-term savings account to $ $2000 ( currently at $1070)
• NEW* Cash envelopes for sporadic money spending categories. 

Family:

• Weekly dinner with grandkids, daughter, and son in law 
• Have two date nights with my mister 
• Touch base with my sons with text and or phone calls.
