February Wrap up

It wasn't a stellar month in the Money Tree household, for goal accompishments.  More things are popping up and the yearly bills are making their appearances as well.

I was not able to write DONE beside any of my goals this month. I knew that going in, though, as I decided to tackle the vehicle loan. I have it down to just under $4500, with a regular payment coming out on Monday, March 5th. Once that payment comes out, I will have 6 payments plus a slightly smaller 7th payment left. That means I would now be done with this loan by October 5th. Not good enough IMHO, so I shall continue to attack this loan. I gave myself a window until May 15th to keep throwing money at this and then I will need to go after other, more time pressing goals.

Nothing else really got tackled. I put down $50 plus paid the interest on the LOC and that was all. I can't visciously attack every goal so I either take little bits from each one and feel like I never get anything off the list, or I go hard after one.

I snowflaked $350 in February, a part of which came from the rolled change.

I have bills coming up this month

• filing income tax
• DS2's summer bible camp $300 ish
• DS1 will have a few more outgoing expenses as he gets ready to head off to Italy. I will find out at our group meeting next week
• My package policy for insurance is due on my vehicle
• A couple birthdays forthcoming
• more will pop up that I can't remember

As I listen to my washing machine, I know that those items' days are numbered. I need to be aware of that and know that new ones/new to me ones will throw off my plans

Anxiously awaiting my tech guy on Saturday so I can find out the status of my internet at home. I am really realizing how much time I spend on there. bad jolie!!
