I cannot tell you happy I am that it is a new month! I’m feeling very positive and super motivated to make this one a good one. Initially, I had about 13 goals I wanted to accomplish. However I decided for optimal success just to focus on a few key ones.
Financial Goals:
- Tweek our monthly budget and actually stick to it!
- Meal plan to stay within grocery budget
- Solidify mortgage payoff goals and develop a streamline plan to execute
- Have a budget meeting with the hubby
- Increase his 401K contributions by at least 1%
Loving the Home Goals
- Read “Spark Joy” or “The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up” by Marie Kondo
- Organize, clean and declutter all the clothes, miscellaneous items and toys
- Sell and/or donate crap from home for bonus spending cash
It seems simple enough but let’s see how we do!
You’ll love Marie Kondo’s books! They were not only practical but inspiring too. Good luck!

Thanks! In true frugal fashion, I’m trying to get them from the library but they are super popular!

I loved the Kondo book but I recommend having space/time to do it. It can get super overwhelming. It’s also on YouTube if you’re alright with an audio version.
Here’s to a fantastic April!

Nice idea: sell stuff you do not need for bonus spending. What about this: sell stuff for extra investing? That was actually my plan, but my sales on second hand websites resulted in 0 bids… I need a new plan

That’s a bummer that nothing is selling. Investing is probably a smarter idea! I guess I’ll have to see if I can actually sell anything.
