A sidebar completed

Thanks to that happy joyous day called PAYDAY, yesterday, I was able to complete a sidebar goal. I spent about an hour running around to my two banks and I did so happily :P

At bank one I deposited some cheques and withdrew Jar $ for the week. At bank two I deposited some cheques and moved money into my High Interest Savings. I was able to move enough to finish off my new (this year) goal of Back to School $1500. It is going to be a big relief to have that money when it come time to pay school fees, buy school supplies, and put some towards those back to school extra curricular activities. It looks all pretty and green and 100% filled in.

I have three savings goals left on my sidebar. I will complete them in the following order:
  • Christmas - $1400
  • RRSP - $1500
  • TFSA (EF) - $1000
Barring unforeseen problems, the Christmas goal will be finished at the end of July.

I really commend you on running from bank to bank to get money to fill your jars. I really wish I had the time and energy to do so as well. It takes discipline and that is one of my lowest key points :)Keep up the good work and hope you succeed on your planned savings!

That's wonderful!! I hope to complete at least one sidebar this year. Seems like almost a lost cause at this point. You've given me a huge incentive to get going on those goals. If I can just get past this awfully expensive month! :)!

This is amazing and exciting. All the hard work does work. It will be like Christmas in July if you complete your Christmas goal in July, too corny?

Wow that is so awesome! Also question, if you don't spend ALL of your back to school money do you just transfer the rest to the next year or do you apply it to debt and count it as snowflakes?
