Where to go from here

It's been a heck of a high this week, I have to admit. The overwhelming number of visitors and your kind and supportive comments really meant so much to me. It's always been so exciting for me to read on other blogs of people's successes and in many ways it is still rather surreal that I finally had one to share.

So where to go from here?

Well some things never change. The budget marches on, with it's army of magic jars, budget binder and saying 'no' a whole lot.

I have noticed a shift in my mindset in regards to shopping. There is a whole lot more of 'do you reallly need that??' in my self talk. I refuse to buy things that clutter up my home, and there isn't a whole lot that is really needed for my house.

My weakness is still groceries. It is far too easy to spend more than i want. I still need to work on planning out meals which generally means better organizing my life.

I know where I am going 'goal wise'.  I started this big goal with the consolidated loan when there was 2 years left on the loan, which I cut down to one. My next goal has  a four  year lifespan which I obviously want to reduce down. It's still a long journey and I worry that I will lose momentum with such a long time period.

I understand there will be bumps along the way and the budget will need to keep changing to reflect those.

So in the meantime, life goes on. It's a gorgeous day here on the prairies and it's supposed to get to 20 C today which is glorious in and of itself. The added bonus is how we were in a blizzard this time last week.

Off to go help with the Scouts annual spring bottle drive. Have a great day everyone!
