Happy new year!
Sorry I dropped the ball in the month of December. I didn’t
post hardly at all on the blog, I didn’t do a debt numbers update (and I can
tell you now, it ain’t pretty!), and I didn’t budget well at all.
The last 4 weeks have been particularly hard. We had our
annual Christmas party, Christmas, a small out-of-town trip, new years, and
just this past weekend, my dad went in to the hospital. It’s been a tough few
weeks; and I’m not saying that as an excuse, just as an explanation, because
when you do finally see the numbers again, you’re going to want an explanation!
The last month of our kitchen remodel did us in,
financially. We will be paying for that for months to come.
I hope to be better and more consistent about posting in the
new year. Some of my goals, as far as the blog goes, is to post twice a week. I
would like to have an average of 8 posts per month for 2017. Starting in
February, I want to be sure to include a “debt numbers update” monthly. My last
blog goal is to comment on two different blogs per month actually using my name
and blog.
Wish me luck. 2017 hasn’t gotten off to the best start
financially. I’m hoping that by the end of this year, I will be completely
credit card debt free. However, in order to get there, I have to put in work,
because during the month of December, for the first time in 12 months, we
increased our debt instead of decreasing it. That has to stop!
In the coming weeks, I will be sure to let you know what my
financial goals are for 2017 and some of the ways I’m going to try to achieve
them.
New year, new financial me!
