save $500

Almost there . . .

I was ALMOST there when I made the decision to use my savings to pay off my credit card. I chose to do so to avoid an additional $40 fee. I also used part of the money to register for a conference I’m attending this summer. By registering now, I saved $50. . . so it had to be done. The plan is to supplement my savings with my tax return, so hopefully I can build it back up soon.

Yep. I have a little over $250 in a high yield money market account. We’ve had some crazy snow, and I’ve been short on my paycheck, so it looks like I can’t afford to save anymore until February. Hopefully I’ll have this done before March.

My New Year’s Resolution is to save money regularly. I’m hoping to save the first $500 within the next couple of months.

I’ve been having issues with signing into my online money market account, so I haven’t been able to make a deposit since January. If I’d only make the time to call and get it straightened out, I’d be able to make deposits again. But I hate the phone. . . blegh! I just need to find time and DO IT!

$130

I’m hoping to deposit another $100 before the end of the month.

I think $500 is a good starting point for building my savings. After I reach this goal, I’ll move on to $1000. :) I’m hoping to save at least $100 every month.
