Save $1000 for my emergency fund (read all 3 entries…)
Trying something...

I ran across this plan via a friend’s Facebook feed: The 52 Week Save Money Challenge

I’m trying it out. It’s not a fast way of saving $1000, but it’s SIMPLE and EASY. I’ve spent too much time thinking and over-thinking about how to save money properly; I need to stop thinking and JUST. SAVE. MONEY. This plan requires next-to-no thinking, and for the most part, amounts of money that are too small to affect my cash flow much.

The tiny amount in my special savings account is kind of depressing, but it’s going to keep growing. Very, very slowly. At this rate, it will be November until I reach my goal. That seems like a long time away…but it will be here before I know it.



Eat my meals at the table (read all 2 entries…)
Welp, should've known that trying to do it all at once

doesn’t work out! That said, I did eat my dinner at the table this evening. I think that will be my first step: evening meal. Breakfast will be much more challenging.



Do posture fixing exercises every day in January
Found a program

on Reddit that’s pretty well-conceived and fairly conservative. Here

I’m going to give it a shot and see what happens after 31 days of this.

Day 1: DONE!
