It's a new month (a couple days late I admit) so it's time to take a look at how my month of January went for my family.
If you want to review my goals you can see them here.
A change I recently made was to return to my grocery budget back to $70 a week. I tried to decrease it last month and ended up over budget, not good. I will try to ease back towards that goal, but just not yet.
As you may recall, I also want to pay down my debt. We started January at having paid off 40% of all of our debt. I am happy to say that in January we were able to pay an additional 12% ! We have now paid off 52% of all of our consumer debt excluding our mortgage. Yippee!
We have lots more work to do on our debt, but first I need to get the taxes done so I can plan for replacing the roof in the spring.
How are you doing on your goals this year? Let us know so we can support each other.
