there's still a week left in july but since i've already accomplished most of my goals(!!), i went ahead and prepared for august. august! summer is flying by. the biggest goal for the remaining 5 months is to pay off snowball #2 in order to achieve my resolution to be interest-earning debt free by the end of the year. it will be hard because these monthly payments will be hefty. but, since snowball #1 is at zero and i cancelled my september trip to michigan, i believe it will be possible! :) here i go...
fiscal
1. snowball #1: no debt here! $0.00 balance as of july 17th
2. snowball #2: current balance <$2200.00 - pay at least $550.00 this month
i had to move money from my reserve to cover a snowball payment in july, which means i have to pay off the reserve balance in august, which will take away from a bulk payment here. i'm hoping for at least $200.00. :/
3. car insurance: remaining balance <$485.00 - pay minimum balance (<$100.00)
4. rent/conservice (water/sewer/trash): due august 1-5 ($850.67)
5. auto renewal/property tax payment: due asap ($162.26) this also cuts down my snowball payment :(
6. get car checked (tpms light came on - hope it's not expensive!) 8/13 almost $200! :(7. get new hub caps for my car...got a little road rash on 'em a couple weeks ago so replacement is happening sooner rather than later because i'm vain. 8/28
physical
1. 31 day food challenge: no processed crap, prepared meals and snacks only, no HFCS soda... i slacked off at the end of july, so it's time to get back on the clean-eating wagon.
2. 31 day exercise challenge: minimum 4 days a week of activity - crossfit at home, walk/jog, etc. since my mom bought my sister some fancy jeans, she bought me a fitbit charge. so i, literally, have no excuse not to move/sweat.
3. b12 bloodwork scheduled for 8/28
good stuff
1. continue to purge and give (durham rescue mission) round 1: 6 bags of clothes/accessories dropped off 8/8 (goodwill). round 2: 8-9 bags of bedding/decor/clothes dropped off 8/18 (drm). round 3: early september.
2. more sorting/purging at homestead (keep only what will fit in my room & carry empty bins to the attic)planned for friday 8/14 & saturday 8/15 round 2 planned for 8/29-30
3. shred fest
4. find out whether or not i'll be taking the cert exam in november i'm not. :(
5. resist the urge to rearrange the living room... :) too late. it's not done-done but i got a head start after the exterminator left yesterday. some new ideas, some old but art will shift.
6. resist the urge to spend now that snowball #1 has been paid off!
7. 1/2 day on Friday 8/28! & with car appt., it'll turn into a 2 hour work day. :) :)
