There really isn't much to report of late. It has been snowing here and I wonder how late I will be in getting my veggie garden started.
I think that I do however need to focus on one goal at a time. There is so much in which I want to accomplish but I am starting to feel like I am all over the place. Saying that, I am going to focus on the emergency fund, get that fully funded and then I can move on and focus on another goal. Dh is getting some commission next week so part of that will be going towards the emergency fund. Not sure how much he will be getting but we also need to get our verandah up to par.
I am thinking that $10,000 to $12,000 would be a nice goal. That amount would keep us going for quite sometime.Dh feels that we have enough now with the $5200 and with his military pension that amount would last us for about 5 months of living expenses but I just keep thinking if anything were to happen and if we ever needed to get out West to dh mother we will need that extra for flight tickets etc. I just want to be prepared.
After that I think that we are going to focus on paying down the mortgage. We still however have to keep adding to our retirement as well. Every bit helps that is for sure.
So that is my goal , to focus on one goal at a time until it is completed from here on out....At least financial goals
Happy Easter Everyone
