June Goals and Update

Goals || Tags: goals ||

Hello June! I have been waiting for you. We had a beautiful sunny day for June 1st and I spent the afternoon with my family at Hell Bay on their patio. It was such a nice way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Yesterday I had a bridal shower for a friend, and then a family birthday! So many fun things this weekend, that I didn’t get my budgeting done until today.

Now that it’s Monday I’m getting ready for the week ahead, and making my June goals. But first let’s recap my May goals:

My health goal was running, which is going pretty well. I ran 8K yesterday morning and it felt pretty good. My 10K is about a month away, so I feel I’ll be ready for that.
My finance goal was to be under $1500 in debt and we did it! We were able to send $1665 to the debt this month, bringing our total down to 1497.30! We’re so close now, I had been hoping to be debt free by the end of June, but it may be July. Either way, we are ahead of my original goal of September 2019!
My other goal was to make a to-do list everyday, which I totally failed at! I did manage to get some things done like running and we painted our bedroom this month. I had wanted to make more youtube videos and blog posts for you though!

June Goals

Health Goal: I will be focusing on running again this month, since my 10K is just under a month away! My goal is to get out running 3 times a week.

Finance Goal: This month I want to experiment with a new way of budgeting. I’m not 100% sure how it will work yet, but instead of budgeting monthly I’m going to experiment with budgeting bi-weekly. With variable income budgeting monthly can be challenging so I wanted to try a different way.

Other Goal: My other goal is to update one blog post per week, as well as getting back into publishing on my regular schedule! I haven’t had too many travel blog posts lately, since we haven’t travelled in a while.

Net Worth Update

Pretty good change this month. This also marks a year of tracking our net worth and in that time it has gone up by $21,437,49! This is a combination of paying off debt, saving more and paying down our mortgage. We have also hit one of the goals I set for 2019, which was to hit $80,000 in net worth, so I’m upping the goal to $90,000!
